First look at Barry Keoghan’s new thriller movie

As a dedicated gamer and film enthusiast with a deep appreciation for Irish cinema, I’m thrilled to share my thoughts on Barry Keoghan’s upcoming thriller “Bring Them Down.” Having grown up in the Emerald Isle myself, I can’t help but feel a special connection to stories that authentically capture the raw emotions and complex dynamics of rural Irish life.

A first look at Barry Keoghan’s new thriller Bring Them Down has been released.

In the western part of Ireland, two farming families are at the heart of the story as their conflicting behaviors lead to growing disputes with increasingly dire results.

Michael, the youngest son in a shepherding clan, resides with his ailing father, Ray. Haunted by the guilt of his mother’s passing, Michael has chosen to withdraw from society.

When Michael’s feud with farmer Gary and his son Jack intensifies, he finds himself unwittingly entangled in a series of tragic consequences. This unforeseen turn of events compels Michael to face the ghosts of his past, leaving deep scars on both families that cannot be easily healed.

I recently watched a scene where Keoghan’s character Jack seemed uneasy in the woods. On the other hand, Christopher Abbott as Michael in “Poor Things” appeared tense as he aimed a gun at an unidentified target.

An earlier photograph unveiled Jack in the bed of a red pickup truck, seated beside Michael, bearing signs of what seems to be old blood on his facial features.

At the Toronto International Film Festival, starting on September 5, Bring Them Down is set to make its debut on the world stage for the first time.

The film will next become available on streaming platform MUBI for audiences in the UK, Ireland, North America, Latin America, Belgium, Luxembourg, Turkey, and the Netherlands to watch.

In his directorial debut with the thriller genre, Christopher Andrews is joined by a talented cast including Colm Meaney from “No Way Up,” Nora-Jane Noone of “Brooklyn,” Paul Ready from “Motherland,” Susan Lynch known for “Killing Eve,” and Aaron Heffernan starring in “Brassic.”

I was thrilled to discover that the creators behind the compelling series “Bring Them Down” include Ivana MacKinnon, Jacob Swan Hyam, Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, Jean-Yves Roubin, and Cassandre Warnauts. These talented individuals have brought this captivating production to life.

In addition to acting, Keoghan and Abbott will also serve as executive producers. They will be joined by Efe Çakarel, Jason Ropell, Bobby Allen, Niamh Fagan, and Celine Haddad in these roles.

The announcement of the project dates back to 2021. Initially, Paul Mescal from “Normal People” and Tom Burke known for his work in “Strike,” were rumored to be cast in it.

Bring Them Down receives its world premiere at Toronto International Film Festival in September.
