A film that is based in Edinburgh, Scotland slipped through my sight when it was released in the UK. The film is New Town Killers. [singlepic id=1339 w=320 h=240 float=right]
Two private bankers, Alistair and Jamie, who have the world at their feet get their kicks from playing a 12 hour game of hunt, hide and seek with people from the margins of society. Their next target is Sean Macdonald a parentless teenager who lives with his sister on a housing estate on the outskirts of Edinburgh. She’s in debt, he’s going nowhere fast. Sean agrees to play for cash. He soon realises he’s walked into twelve hours of hell where survival is the name of the game.
To me it feels like a modern day version of , The Most Dangerous Game with a little added twist to the hunt.
