With any luck, he’ll be heading for a similar level of success off the back of this film.
McCann, meanwhile, has a wiliness about him that brings to mind Michael Fassbender in his early breakout years. He’s an empathetic presence at all times, even when it’s his actions, too, that worsen Vaughn’s miseries, not just those of Marcus. Lowden, the rising star of England Is Mine and Dunkirk, is fully committed to his mild-mannered man going through the wringer. It’s hard to pinpoint any single MVP regarding Calibre’s success.
Soon enough, those bites become the looming threat of a bullet to the head. In self-defensive panic, they decide to try and cover up the accident that’s taken place, but circumstances see them stranded in the village, with their increasingly large web of lies causing more and more problems as multiple mistakes come back to bite them. Heading to the woods hungover the next morning, an attempt at hunting deer goes spectacularly wrong, when entirely the wrong prey ends up in the sights of one of the two men’s rifles. Before heading to the forest, they make a memorable impression for various locals via a night of revelry and mild debauchery de facto local leader Logan (Tony Curran) seems drawn to them as a potential means of bringing good relations and industry back to the area. Vaughn has a baby on the way with his partner, while Marcus, whose work background is in business financing, is displaying signs of getting back into bad substance abuse habits. Lifelong friends Vaughn (Jack Lowden) and Marcus (Martin McCann) take a weekend hunting trip to an isolated village in the Scottish Highlands, having become a bit distant from one another. Writer-director Matt Palmer delivers an exciting and unbearably tense calling card with debut feature Calibre, a Scottish thriller influenced by the likes of Deliverance, Wake in Fright and Southern Comfort. Watch Calibre online in the UK: Netflix UK Cast: Jack Lowden, Martin McCann, Tony Curran, Ian Pirie, Kate Bracken
