WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In 1978, a group of criminals meet at an abandoned warehouse in Boston, Massachusetts, to partake in a weapons deal. However, the formalities soon turn sour and soon, every single one of them becomes embroiled in a giant shoot-out between each other…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Ben Wheatley’s latest film is an action-packed, laugh-out-loud hilarious and wildly entertaining film that contains perhaps the most insane amount of gunplay ever in a film like this.
