Dead Shot is a movie thriller which takes us to the tense and paranoid streets of London in the 1970s, at the time of The Troubles in Northern Ireland. This Sky Original film stars Colin Morgan, alongside Aml Ameen, Felicity Jones, Mark Strong, Sophia Brown and Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, and tells the story of a retired Irish paramilitary O’Hara (Colin Morgan) who sees his pregnant wife shot dead by an SAS officer Tempest (Ameen). The IRA man manages to escape but vows to take revenge on the man who tore apart his family.
The movie, originally called Borderland, was written by Top Boy creator Ronan Bennett and Tom and Charles Guard back in 2012 so it’s taken a while to come to fruition, so we’re delighted we’ll be able to watch it at last.
