GBH (formerly titled RIOT), the new film from the people who brought you “The Rise & Fall of a White Collar Hooligan” is released theatrically in the UK on September 28th and on DVD, iTunes and VOD on October 1st through Revolver. Ain’t It Cool News have already described it as “The British Thriller of the year”.
GBH is a powerful tale of justice and vengeance starring Damien (Nick Nevern) a London copper with a past he’s trying to forget. Before signing up for the force he ran with a football firm, getting involved in tear-ups up and down the country. Now he’s on the other side of the law and faces a tough decision: side with his old crew or protect London as it burns and rioters run amok? Falling in love with fellow cop Louise (Kellie Shirley), Damien is quickly alerted to a street-level uprising that is about to shake London.
Amidst the brutalities presented by the riots, Damien fights for justice at Louise’s expense. Having been raped by a rioter known to him, Damien finds himself levelling with the rioters, fighting a war he cannot win, as much against the rioters as against himself.
The film stars a wealth of british talent including Nick Nevern (White Collar Hooligan), Kellie Shirley (Eastenders), Peter Barrett (Jack Falls), Con O’Neill (Telstar), Lorraine Stanley (London to Brighton) and Steven Berkoff (The Krays). It is the directorial debut of prolific actor and producer Simon Phillips (The Jack trilogy, How to stop being a Loser) and is produced by Jonathan Sothcott (Elfie Hopkins) and Paul Tanter (The Rise and Fall of a White Collar Hooligan).
