Review

In this frenetic crime thriller, a young prosecutor is caught in the crossfire when she discovers that her lover is a hitwoman for the vicious thug she is about to try. She must decide who to trust to save her life - and her relationship.

A tense low-budget thriller in the style of Bound, NightDragon is the taut story of professional hitmen and hitwomen, a revenge-driven thug and an innocent young woman caught in the crossfire. Young lawyer Millie (Annette Kellow) has fallen madly in love with the mysterious Liz (Imogen Church), but romance turns to betrayal when Millie, about to prosecute a vicious thug, discovers that the love of her life works for him. To make matters worse, two killers - the dangerously methodical but bookwormish Beckett (James Fisher) and the seriously deranged Hansen (Alan Ford) -- appear on the scene to forcibly extract information from Millie. Who she should trust and who is bent on murder are the overriding questions as loyalties are tested, guns are drawn and knives are flashed. Love may or may not triumph in the end in this totally involving London underground crime thriller featuring two well-drawn and seriously non-stereotypical lesbians.
