With less than three weeks to go until its arrives in cinemas, IFC Films has released a poster and trailer for writer-director Tim Sutton’s upcoming thriller Donnybrook. Based on Frank Bill’s novel of the same name, it stars Jamie Bell (Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool), Frank Grillo (Reprisal), Margaret Qualley (IO), and James Badge Dale (The Standoff at Sparrow Creek); take a look here…
Three desperate souls must fight their way out of a dead-end world in this bracing, gut-punching glimpse into America’s dark underbelly. Earl (Jamie Bell) is a struggling ex-marine and father determined to make a better life for his family—no matter what it takes. Angus (Frank Grillo) is a violent, unhinged drug dealer who leaves a trail of death and destruction in his wake. And Delia (Margaret Qualley) is a haunted woman who will do anything to escape a life of crime she can no longer bear. In their kill-or-be-killed world, all roads lead to the Donnybrook: an illicit backwoods cage match where bare-knuckled fighters brawl for a shot at a $100,000 prize. It’s either a last-ditch chance at redemption—or a death sentence. Blending unflinching brutality with dreamlike lyricism, director Tim Sutton conjures a mesmerizing, visceral vision of life on the extreme margins.
Donnybrook is set for a theatrical release on February 15th followed by a VOD release on February 22nd.
