Hitting cinemas in just a couple of weeks is a British film already being hailed as a Taxi Driver for the 21st century. Panic is set against the ruthless backdrop of London’s exploitation of migrant labour, and features a star-making turn from rising international talent David Gyasi (Interstellar, Cloud Atlas, The Dark Knight Rises).
We have a new, exclusive clip to share from the gritting thriller, which you can watch in our player below. Here’s the official synopsis:
Music journalist Andrew Deeley (David Gyasi, Interstellar) lives in a high-rise tower block, cut off from the world, psychologically scarred after a vicious street attack. He spends his evenings watching his neighbours and becomes infatuated with Kem, a beautiful young Chinese woman.
When Amy, a married woman he meets online, witnesses Kem’s kidnapping, Deeley tries and fails to get the police involved. He is left with no choice but to try and find Kem himself, fighting his own anxieties as he strives to find someone whom the world is happy to forget.
Armed with only an Oyster card and a hammer, Deeley spirals into the heart of the Chinese Triad underworld. Hoping for a fresh start with the elusive Amy, Deely puts his life on the line as he fights to save Kem.
Panic reveals a side of the city usually kept hidden deep in the shadows, and also stars Pippa Nixon (Cuffs, Containment, John Carter), Yennis Cheung (Chinese Girls In London, Skyfall), and Jason Wong (Asylum, Hummingbird). Sean Spencer directs from his own screenplay.
Watch our exclusive look below. Panic opens in UK cinemas 18th November 2016, and on demand 21st November, 2017.
