REVIEW | Tiger Raid "deserves to be widely seen" | Film Ireland

Film Ireland's report on Tribeca Film Festival 2016  includes a positive review of Tiger Raid.

Brian Gleeson and Damien Molony (Tiger Raid)

Irish actors Brian Gleeson and Damien Molony feature in Simon Dixon’s Tiger Raid, which deals with the almost unbearable tension of front line warfare and how it destroys the souls of men. Joe (Gleeson) and Paddy (Molony) are mercenary soldiers on a top-secret abduction mission in either Iraq or Afghanistan. However, their boss, Dave, keeps pushing the boundaries between them. The fragile bonding between the two battle-hardened soldiers begins to fracture throughout the film.

The pacing and tension of this first film by professional advertising director Simon Dixon never lets up. The film’s greatest asset is the dynamic chemistry between Gleeson and Molony. The scenario of the screenplay pays subtle tribute to Frank O’ Connor’s story ‘Guests of the Nation’ and Neil Jordan’s The Crying Game. For the dynamic performances by Gleeson and Molony and its unrelenting depiction of the human cost of war this film deserves to be widely seen.

I really hope it is widely seen. Everything I've read or seen just makes me want to watch this more and more. bandit

Me too Rosie, and the more we hear about Damien and Brian's roles and their dynamic, the more I cannot wait to see them together on screen.

I do hope this film gets picked up and is "more widely seen" soon. Preferably in a cinema near me.

I'm gutted I can't make it to Edinburgh - so near yet so far!
