Plots(1)
It's 1978, and Justine (Brie Larson, who won the Best Actress Oscar for last year's Festival hit Room) has brokered a gun deal in an abandoned warehouse between IRA men Chris (Cillian Murphy) and Frank (Wheatley regular Michael Smiley), and gun dealers Vernon (Sharlto Copley) and cool-as-a-cuke Ord (Armie Hammer, also appearing at this year's Festival in The Birth of A Nation and Nocturnal Animals). The tension is thicker than the Irish brogues. But everything seems to be going smoothly - until shots are fired during the handover and pandemonium ensues, the warehouse erupting in a barrage of gunfire worthy of John Woo. The explosive and chaotic battle escalates to a manic standoff, a bloody game of survival where everyone left alive is either trying to escape with a bag of money, or make sure that nobody else does. (Toronto International Film Festival)
