The London Firm: gritty British crime thriller

There are some days when only a gritty British crime thriller will do, and a new title to put on your film-shelf marked hard-boiled is The London Firm, which is released on October 26, 2015.

The London Firm, says the blurb, is an 87 minute joyride through the streets of London with two assassins who are forced to work together and confront their past when they are double crossed on a hit.

The story follows two hitmen as they wake up in the back of a truck to discover they have been drugged and their employer brutally murdered. Their attempts to escape bring about a bloody confrontation with a shocking twist in the tale.

And the cast is cosily familiar starring Vincent Regan (Troy, 300, Clash of the Titans), Robert Cavanah (Wuthering Heights, Sahara, Tomb Raider), Stephen Marcus (Lock Stock, Fast & Furious 6, Interview with a Hitman) and Seb Castang (Fifteen, The Zombie King).
