“There’s a hundred-thousand streets in this city… You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window…Anything happens a minute either side of that and you’re on your own…”


An enigmatic getaway driver and stuntman crashes into the life of his new neighbour Irene (Carey Mulligan) – and soon becomes dangerously embroiled with the criminal life of her husband Standard (Oscar Isaac).

Renowned for featuring perhaps one of the all-time greatest soundtrack of atmospheric synth classics, this brilliantly minimalist – and unflinchingly violent – adaptation of James Sallis’ superb novel co-stars Christina Hendricks, Bryan Cranston and Albert Brooks.
