Great praise for Damien and Brian Gleesons' performances in Tiger Raid, from The Ed Fest Film magazine
The relationship between the two mercenaries is the central focus for the majority of the film. It is the heated conversations and unfolding the mystery surrounding these two characters that engages with the audience the most. Gleeson and Molony elevate the film; their powerful performances, quick wit and war paint across their eyes make them formidable characters.
Alongside the electric performances, the film does a great job of visually immersing the audience in the harsh reality of war as well as the destructive position of the West in the Middle East. Director of Photography, Si Bell, cleverly angles the mercenaries in unexpected and unconventional ways in order to show power shifts.
