The film marks Kelly’s feature directorial debut after short Done In premiered as part of Cannes’ Court Metrage strand in 2014. He was also an executive producer on 2014 crime-thriller We Still Kill the Old Way.

Kelly said: “I’m incredibly excited to be working on the project, especially with Vinnie in the lead role. His character is very much a departure from the norm and is going to surprise a lot of people.

“The story is as much of a dark drama as it is a vigilante movie.”
