Dead Shot (2023) Video Mp4 Download Movie

In the 1970s, a member of the IRA takes over an Active Service Unit in London after his wife is accidentally shot dead in Ireland. The unit’s mission is to cause chaos and destruction, while his personal aim is to hunt down his wife’s killer – an SAS captain, who is also hunting him.

Gritty thriller Dead Shot has taken a while to arrive on our screens – the first draft of the script was written by Top Boy’s Ronan Bennett back in 2012, and John Boyega and Jack Reynor were originally cast as the leads in 2020 (when the film was known by the title Borderland) before production was postponed due to the pandemic and they both went on to other projects instead.

Filming eventually took place in 2022, and the end result features a host of impressive names – Merlin‘s Colin Morgan, Mark Strong, I May Destroy You’s Aml Ameen, and Rogue One’s Felicity Jones – in a dark revenge drama set during The Troubles in the 1970s.

Michael (Morgan) is an Irish paramilitary in 1975 who wants to permanently walk away from the IRA unit he is part of in South Armagh. However, when his heavily pregnant wife is shot dead by a British sergeant named Tempest (Ameen), Michael vows to take revenge – a mission that sends him to London to seek out Tempest at the height of the IRA’s bombing campaign there.

Focusing a drama on the complicated history of the Troubles can be a very difficult path to tread, and past movies have either been excellent, powerful, raw films (The Crying Game, ’71, In The Name of the Father) or the polar opposite – thunderously tone-deaf movies like A Prayer For The Dying, The Devil’s Own (Brad Pitt as an IRA member?) and Blown Away (Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones as former bombers) among them.

Dead Shot falls somewhere in between – it’s not offensive or ill-advised, but it’s not particularly memorable either.

Instead, it is a relentlessly grim story in which no one is particularly sympathetic (except Tempest’s poor girlfriend, Ruth, who unwittingly gets caught in the middle). But while it makes for bleak viewing, it does boast strong performances from the cast – most notably Ameen and Morgan as the two men who are on a collision course towards each other that can only end badly.
