The Irish revenge thriller Spears is in selected cinemas now - here's a clip.
Filmed in Ireland, London, Berlin and Florence, Spears tells the story of a private investigator (Nigel Brennan), a dissident Republican (Aidan O'Sullivan) and a con artist (Bobby Calloway) who team up "to take revenge on those who have wronged them".
Spears takes its title from the Emily Brontë quote: "Treachery and violence are spears pointed by both ends; they wound those who resort to them worse than their enemies."
The independent production is the second film from writer-director Gerard Lough, who made his debut with the 2015 horror Night People. The cast also includes Michael Parle, Yalda Shahidi, Rebecca Rose Flynn and Thomas Sharkey.
Speaking to RTÉ Entertainment about the film's theme of revenge, Lough said: "I was keen to weave it into a story that would work as a cautionary tale that asks the audience that it may be natural to want to get your own back, but do two wrongs ever make a right?
"What's interesting is when the three protagonists decide to hit back at another group, the line between the good guys and bad guys becomes blurred very quickly and it's hard to tell them apart after a while. That's why I love the Neo-Noir genre; things are never simply black and white, moral ambiguity abounds... like real life."
