In the remote west coast of Scotland, a drug dealer double-crosses and kills a drug trafficker who imports drugs for him. The dealer is arrested and learns that the murder was witnessed by a couple of anonymous locals. Facing life imprisonment, the dealer decides to hire a hitman to eliminate all the potential witnesses. Outside a rural police station, the hired hitman starts a stopwatch, runs across a road, jumps into his car, and takes off with a screech. He drives full speed through the barren country until he reaches the remote, one street hamlet of Bartoun. He checks his stopwatch. It reads 28 minutes, 36 seconds. He sees a poster advertising a fair in the next village. The residents of Bartoun are advised to meet on main street at noon to get a ride. As the people begin to congregate the next day, the hitman walks toward them and begins shooting. He knows that he has 28 minutes and 36 seconds before the police arrive. Pandemonium ensues as he methodically hunts down his targets ...

Review :


From Scotland - and very engaging!!

I saw this movie as part of the 2003 Montreal World Film Fest, and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. A thriller/action movie:

My only reserve was for the pace at the beginning, but after a little while it starts to pick up really rapidly. There's quite a bit of cold-blooded killing (or should as say, unapologetic?): the `good' guys don't all come out unscathed, as is the usual tradition. I believe the whole movie was shot in digital - interesting use of split screen effects (last used in the movie `Timecode', if I remember correctly) and other edits. Good photography (opening scene notably), and a great, driving soundtrack to accompany the action. Actors were good and convincing (keeping in mind this is not Hamlet).

The last part of the movie is almost exempt of dialogue - and features a great, heart-racing chase scene (of the non-car-crashing-exploding kind, thank you).

Cool feature: I liked the crossbow being used in the action. when was the last time you saw one used in a movie (set in modern times)?

So in the end, it's good to know that you don't need bullet-time and multi-gazillions of dollars to make an exciting thriller. Plus, it's shot in Scotland. (Check out the scenery!)

Hoping it gets released here!
