A MAN'S FURY
A successful formula consisting of an 80s-90s storydriven action drama that reminds us of the iconic movie “The Professional” and Death Wish”.
A celebration of the most successful genre that commands high-octane testosterone-driven revenge movies that play a familiar tune on our heartstrings.
Matt West, a celebrated former rugby star, happy family man, and proud father loses it all after a wrong turn brings him into the underbelly of London’s gang-infested suburbs where he was forced to witness the rape and murder of his wife while getting beaten to an inch of his life.
As he learns to walk again he sets out to enact revenge on the ”Yardies” and a ruthless ganglord. For this, Matt West must step out of his comfortable life and plunge into a world of despair, drugs, and violence.
This is where he meets Paige, a young streetwise girl with her own vendetta against the ganglord leader “Lambie,” who raped her and then forced her to work the streets.
Against all odds, this unlikely alliance turns into an unbreakable bond between two people whose worlds couldn’t be further apart. Together they take on the impossible and enter a world where the odds are only against them.
