“A True Soldier Never Leaves The Battlefield”

ActionThriller

Soldier Robert Miller returns home from Afghanistan unable to fit back into society. Living on a violent council estate and finding work in undercover surveillance, he becomes obsessed with taking down a group of local gangsters who are intrinsically tied to a suspected terrorist cell. Taking the situation into his own hands, Robert embarks on a brutal quest for justice, with devastating consequences.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching descent into urban warfare. This film feels like a cold, hard punch to the gut, steeped in the grim realities of post-conflict trauma and a relentless pursuit of vengeance on the unforgiving streets.
