Opening scenes are so laden with emotion and bad decision after bad decision, that it’s hard to think about when the two friends will ever get a break. The whole thing plays out like a game of cat and mouse except without the cat. For starters, it says on the box - mystery and suspense, and for once it’s exactly what you get with this one. The film was released worldwide on 29 June 2018 by Netflix.

Release: Calibre premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on 22 June 2018.

Streaming on the Netflix platform and a directorial debut for Matt Palmer, Calibre stars Jack Lowden (Dunkirk 2017), Martin McCann (The Survivalist 2015), and Tony Curran (Eat Locals 2017), and Ian Pirie (Upcoming Shafted 2018). Nothing could prepare them for what follows.

The story follows two lifelong friends who head up to an isolated Scottish Highlands village for a weekend hunting trip.

Not the footballer, the independent writer, and director who is well known for The Gas Man 2014. The Calibre movie is a survival film that stars its director Matt Palmer. If you are looking for a hidden gem on Netflix check out this review of the thriller Calibre.
