First look at Barry Keoghan’s new thriller movie

A first look at Barry Keoghan‘s new thriller Bring Them Down has been released.

The film centres around the escalating tensions of two farming families in the west of Ireland, whose actions have increasingly devastating consequences.

“Michael, the last son of a shepherding family, lives with his ailing father, Ray. Burdened by guilt over the death of his mother, Michael has isolated himself from the world,” reads the official logline for the film.

“When a conflict with rival farmer Gary and his son Jack escalates, Michael is drawn into a devastating chain of events, forcing him to confront the horrors of his past and leaving both families permanently altered.”

A new still see Keoghan’s character Jack looking anxious in the woods, while another sees Poor Things star Christopher Abbott as Michael while he points a gun at an unknown target.

A previously released image saw Jack sitting in the back of a red truck next to Michael, with what appears to be some dried blood on his face.
