From Academy Award winning director James Marsh (Man on Wire) returns with this story of a single mother, Collette (Andrea Riseborough who is a republican in Belfast during the troubles and is arrested after a failed bomb plot. She is then offered a choice by the MI5 to either go to prison for 25 years for the crime or go back to Belfast to work as an informant in the IRA. When rumours of an informant become rife she has to do what is best to protect her family.
Clive Owen plays Mac, the MI5 operative who gives her the choice after her arrest. This is a film with great potential as a story to see the troubles from the Republican perspective in Northern Ireland which I've taken a great interest in after visiting Belfast recently, lets hope were not disappointed.
Shadow Dancer is out on Friday 24th August in the UK and the trailer is embedded below:
