Taliesin presents a special Swansea screening of this all-time action classic, newly remastered in 4K, and accompanied by an in-person intro and Q&A with director Gareth Evans!
A rookie member of an elite team of commandos, Rama is instructed to hang back while his comrades-in-arms go ahead with their mission to take down a brutal crime lord called Tama. However, the team's cover is blown, and Tama offers sanctuary to every criminal in his high-rise apartment block in exchange for the cops' heads. Now Rama must take command and lead his remaining team on an ultraviolent charge through the building to complete -- and survive -- the mission.
This event is supported by the BFI Film Academy, with tickets only £3 for 18-25s.
