Fast paced Irish thriller The Hit Producer is in cinemas in October

The Hit Producer is a new Irish film that's set to hit cinemas from the 17th of October, and you really should check it out.

The film was written and directed by Kevin de la Isla O'Neill and has been playing at festival for the last few months to rave reviews. The plot goes like this - Katelin Ballantine (Michelle Doherty) is a movie producer who needs cash for her new project. Instead she gets involved with the criminal underworld and is forced to take on dangerous hits for a gangland boss. Things quickly get messy.

Here's the trailer.

We got the chance to catch the film at an early screening a few months back and it's loads of fun, with a great performance by Doherty and some enjoyable gunplay. So we're very pleased to report that The Hit Producer will be getting a big screen release - which is the perfect way to experience the film.

You'll be able to see it on general release in Movies@Dundrum and Movies@Swords from the 17th of October 2015. Expect it to arrive on VOD over the next few months as well.
