About the film

Til death do they part.

What it’s about

Jack Wolfe plans to fake his own death and collect a $30 million insurance payout, with his wife Nora as his accomplice. But Nora has a different idea: kill Jack for real and take all the money. As they set the plan in motion, each tries to stay one step ahead, manipulating those around them. The fraud spirals out of control, becoming a deadly game where trust is impossible.

What hooks you

Samuel L. Jackson and Eva Green star as the scheming spouses. Martin Campbell directs this thriller, which also features Eoin Macken, María Pedraza, Jason Fernández, and Nicole Ansari-Cox. The film is a UK-Bulgaria-Spain co-production.

Who it’s for

It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys tense, twisty crime stories where deception and betrayal drive the plot. It will also appeal to those who like intellectual duels between cunning adversaries.
