More from Indie Movies, which has some good movies so far. This time an Irish action thriller called Amongst the Wolves.
The movie stars Luke McQuillan, Aidan Gillen, Daniel Fee, Jade Jordan, Louise Bourke, Helen Behan, Dane Whyte O’Hara, and Ben Condron. Mark O’Connor is the writer and director, and McQuillan is also writing. The story is:
Danny, an ex-soldier homeless in Dublin, meets Will, a teen fleeing a drug gang. Their encounter forces them to confront their pasts while navigating the harsh realities they face.
The rest is from the press release via Wildcard Distribution and Vertigo Releasing.
O’Connor, best known for Cardboard Gangsters and King of the Travellers, brings his trademark raw and authentic storytelling to Amongst the Wolves, delivering an unflinching look at the intense, gritty underworld of organised crime and the fragile loyalties that bind it together.
The visceral and gripping crime thriller stars Golden Globe® nominee Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones, Kin, Love/Hate), Luke McQuillan (Darklands, Game of Thrones), Jade Jordan (i), Louise Bourke (Let The Wrong One In), Helen Behan (This is England) and newcomer Daniel Fee.
Co-written by O’Connor and McQuillan, the film follows Danny, a homeless man on the streets of Dublin, grappling with the ghosts of his past, who finds himself caught in a cycle of despair and survival. Haunted by memories of his time serving in the Royal Irish Army in Afghanistan, Danny’s life takes a turn when he encounters Will, a young teenager on the run from a dangerous drug gang.
Despite his own inner turmoil, Danny takes Will under his wing, forming a fragile yet profound bond with him. With Power and his ruthless gang closing in, Danny must confront his own inner demons and battle the demons of the past in order to protect Will.
I’ve been sent a screener of Amongst the Wolves, and will report back. The movie will be online, via VoD, from the 2nd of June.
