Action crime thriller from the director of Heat, starring Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx. Suave hitman Vincent hijacks taxi driver Max and forces him to stop at a variety of locations in Los Angeles where he carries out his gruesome business. Realising that his unwilling participation will end with his demise, Max looks for means of escape.
A pizza delivery man is killed on the doorstep of a London mansion block. He is shot twice from a distance by a professional killer. But why? He was a Syrian asylum seeker, but it doesn’t look like a hate crime. Was he even the intended victim?
These and other questions trouble the detective on the case, DI Kip Glaspie – played with a winning blend of compassion and gravitas by Carey Mulligan. This is a David Hare drama, so although it might have the appearance of a police procedural, we know it will sooner or later inflate and expand to become a political thriller with state-of-the-nation heft.
For now, it is peopled by intriguing characters: a posh single mum (Billie Piper), a gay vicar (Nicola Walker), a rebellious Labour MP (John Simm)… Lord knows how they all slot together in Hare’s bigger picture, but it’ll be interesting finding out.
