Liam Neeson continues his reign as the king of the B-movie with his latest thriller, In the land of saints and sinnerswhich is as generic as the name but has a catch. The Irish-set film features an almost entirely Irish cast, which will also be unremarkable apart from Jack Gleeson. Gleeson has spent years away from film and television, but this is his low-key return after his most famous role as the world’s greatest villain Joffrey Baratheon in Game of Thrones.

Neeson’s character, Finbarr Murphy, works as an assassin for a local petty crime syndicate until a job goes wrong and he changes his mind. Advocating for an abused woman sets off a slow chain reaction that results in bloodshed, tears and broken lives.

Alongside Finbarr is Kevin, a young man played by Jack Gleeson who happens to be very accomplished and willing to kill anyone to complete his mission. He’s not as evil as Joffrey, but he’s not a good guy either; he’s just worried and yearns for a bright future, so Finbarr tries to take him under his wing and take him away from the small world of Glencalmsil. In the land of saints and sinners gives Gleeson a chance to return to acting in a different role and maybe hopefully make people realize he’s not Joffrey.
