British Crime Thriller Piggy Gets New Poster

By Neil Tillbrook / April 27, 2012

Total Film ahead of its UK cinema release next week, and it looks as dark and gritty as you'd expect it to be. Well, as gritty as it can be when the main focus is a guy wearing a plastic pig nose. Piggy, written and directed by first time director Kieron Hawkes and starring Martin Compston (The Disappearance Of Alice Creed) and Neil Maskell (Kill List) offers nothing but grit, violence and sweet sweet revenge. Keep your sugar, spice and all things nice as I don't think they would fare too well here. Take a look at the official synopsis and see for yourself:

"London, modern day: Joe, a mild mannered young man is bored by his life. When his beloved brother is murdered Joe finds solace in Piggy, one of his brother's old friends. Piggy helps Joe to cope with grief, intent on saving him and helping him get justice for his brother's killing. As their friendship grows Joe finds himself in an increasing dangerous and murky world of violence and revenge. As Joe's life collapses around him he starts to question who Piggy really is, and how honest he's really been with him. When Joe confronts Piggy a series of events are put in place that lead to a disastrous climax."

Piggy hits cinema screens in the UK on May 4th before making its way to DVD on May 21st (available to pre-order now). No information on an American release as of yet.
