Quiver Distribution has released the official trailer for Dead Shot, the revenge thriller set in 1970s London. Dead Shot is in theaters, on demand, and digital on August 18.
The trailer teases a cat-and-mouse game between Michael (Colin Morgan), a retired IRA paramilitary, and Tempest (Aml Ameen), a British soldier. Michael’s pregnant wife is killed by Tempest during a border crossing. Instead of facing legal action, Tempest is recruited by British police for a mission against the IRA. However, Michael seeks revenge for his wife’s death and heads to London to hunt down Tempest.

What to Expect in Dead Shot?
“When a border ambush goes wrong, a retired Irish paramilitary Michael (Morgan) witnesses the fatal shooting of his pregnant wife by British Sergeant, Tempest (Ameen),” the official synopsis reads. “Now wounded, and presumed dead, he escapes, taking his revenge to the dark and paranoid streets of 1970’s London.”
Besides Morgan (Belfast) and Ameen (I May Destroy You), the Dead Shot cast features Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (Avengers: Infinity War), Sophia Brown (The Witcher: Blood Origin), Máiréad Tyers (Extraordinary), with Mark Strong (Shazam!), and Academy Award nominee Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything).
Dead Shot is written and directed by Tom Guard and Charles Guard. Ronan Bennett wrote the original screenplay inspired by the book The Road to Balcombe Street by Steven P. Moysey. Dead Shot is described as “an adrenaline-fueled thriller that will leave audiences weighing up the true cost of revenge” that is both “raw and suspenseful.”
