Essentially the duo provides a counterpoint to the two flawed protagonists. Ian Pirie as Brian is scarier and ruthless, who believes in the principle of an eye for an eye. A level-headed person with a sense of mercy. Tony Curran perfectly portrayed his role as one of the village heads. Apart from Lowden and McCann, the supporting cast also played excellently to elevate Calibre to a level of scary realism. He can to go any extent to save himself and his friend. Marcus is wilder, rash, sharp-minded, and calm. He is the one who gets overwhelmed by feelings of guilt and exposure throughout because of their actions. Vaughn is young, soft-hearted, somewhat passive, and soon-to-be-father. It is a morality puzzle for the audience to evaluate to what extent forgiveness and friendship can go.Ĭalibre doesn’t waste too much time in character building. Calibre is a brutal movie with an eye for detail and demands the same from its audience.
Director Matt Palmer does an outstanding job of unfolding the plot in such a way the viewers will sympathize with the two leads despite knowing they are technically murderers. The guilt of their wrongdoings eventually haunts and corners them. The gist of the plot is that it’s a domino effect of how one “hunting accident” leads from one crime to another, about how one pays the price of someone else’s mistake and ultimately gets trapped in an inescapable web. All of this makes the Calibre movie undoubtedly worth remembering.
Brilliant low-light cinematography, excellent long shots, effective scenes, marvelous performances, and a carefully executed plot. As the plot proceeds, fear and tension intensify. It’s disturbing, suspenseful, and nail-bitting. A horrific tragedy during a deer hunting trip in Scottish Highlands, amidst a peaceful village and beautiful setting. Its running time is 1 hour and 41 minutes. This dark, gripping, and slow-burning thriller is quite an underrated gem. It became the winner of 2018’s Michael Powell Award for Best British Feature at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Matt Palmer has written and directed this British thriller.
