US actress Juliette Lewis has spoken about the difficulty of playing a character who has “lost their humanity”, following her starring role in western thriller The Thicket opposite Peter Dinklage.

The Oscar-nominated star plays Cut Throat Bill, a ruthless killer who is being tracked down by bounty hunter Reginald Jones (Dinklage) and his band of unlikely heroes in a quest which leads them to deadly “no-mans-land” known as The Thicket.
