The Heavy

Marcus Warren's directorial debut THE HEAVY is a slick British thriller, in which a brotherly bond is stretched to breaking point. Sibling rivalry has seen Mitchell and Christian Mason (Gary Stretch and Adrian Paul) move into very different fields. Fresh out of prison and with limited options, Michell acts as a 'heavy' for shady businessman Anawalt (Stephen Rea), whilst high-flying politician Christian looks set to become the next Prime Minister. Loyalties are called into conflict when Mitchell is given the opportunity to take revenge against his estranged family, all whilst under the glare of crooked police detective Dunn (Vinnie Jones). The gritty gangster film's impressive cast also features Christopher Lee, Jean Marsh, Shannyn Sossamon and Sadie Frost.
