Edmond (McAvoy) receives a call from his ex-wife Joan (Foy) that their seven-year-old son has gone missing at a campsite. As the search gets underway, Edmond slowly realises that his son has been kidnapped, and that there is a dark plot unfolding that only he can solve…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

James McAvoy is very much central to this nail-biting mystery, with the actor not being given a script at any point during filming, meaning that all of his improvised actions are real as he tries to piece things together at the same time as the audience.

FRIDAY 21ST JANUARY 2021

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?
