I admit I have a man crush on Clive Owen, and Shadow Dancer looks like another superb performance and overall just a great looking film.
Academy Award winning director James Marsh is behind this British thriller which also stars Andrea Riseborough and Gillian Anderson.
Single mother Collette McVeigh (Andrea Riseborough) is a Republican living in Belfast with her mother and hardliner IRA brothers. When she is arrested for her part in an aborted IRA bomb plot in London, an MI5 officer (Clive Owen) offers her a choice: lose everything and go to prison for 25 years or return to Belfast to spy on her family. With her son's life in her hands, Collette chooses to place her trust in Mac and return home, but when her brothers' secret operation is ambushed, Collette finds both herself and her family in grave danger.
The world could use more slow burning, tension mounting thrillers like this. It will be released in theaters on May 31st.
