The film is due to be released on Netflix in Ireland and the UK next year
The first trailer for Liam Neeson's new action thriller In the Land of Saints and Sinners has been released as the film receives its premiere at the 80th Venice Film Festival.
In the Co Donegal-filmed thriller, Ballymena man Neeson plays the newly retired assassin who finds himself drawn into a lethal game of cat and mouse with a trio of vengeful terrorists.The synopsis reads “Ireland, 1970s. Eager to leave his dark past behind, Finbar Murphy leads a quiet life in the remote coastal town of Glencolmcille, far from the political violence that grips the rest of the country.
"Drawn into an increasingly vicious game of cat and mouse, Finbar must choose between exposing his secret identity or defending his friends and neighbours."Neeson and Hinds, who are also close friends, filmed the movie in south west Donegal for several weeks last year. The film was directed by Robert Lorenz and written by Terry Loane and Mark Michael McNally. Lorenz previously directed Neeson in 'The Marksman', which topped the box office in early 2021.
