US Trailer ‘Shadow Dancer’ Starring Andrea Riseborough & Clive Owen

James Marsh, the director of the brilliant but underseen THE KING and the academy award winning documentary MAN ON WIRE, offers up the IRA thriller SHADOW DANCER based on the novel by Tom Bradby. It stars Clive Owen as an MI5 agent that oversees the turning of an IRA operative as she wishes to protect her son. It soon escalates into a tense thriller where we question if she’ll get out alive.

The trailer certainly has a number of thrills and nods towards obvious intense set-pieces, but I found the overly dramatic music a bit too desperate. Still, there’s no doubting that this could very well be a gripping look back at the early 1990s. The film was released earlier this year on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK (our review here) but is now heading for a US release.

SHADOW DANCER is released in the US on 31st May on a limited release. It stars Clive Owen, Andrea Riseborough, Gillian Anderson, Aidan Gillen, David Wilmot, and Domhnall Gleeson.
