  Dead Bolt Dead' takes a twisted look at the dark world of organised crime at its assasins its bosses its drivers and its sharply suited paid thugs. It adds a dose of country and western a couple of spliffs and a Mexican cook with a meat cleaver. It's a dark thriller with a wry sense of humour that focuses on the need to keep talking when staring down the barrel of a gun. Set in 2 locations in and outside London it charts the night after a bold attempt to take out a rival gang fails. Two hostage situations emerge - one with a wounded thug desperate to secure his safety the other with a hired gun and his crime lord target. The claustrophobic confines of the 2 situations sporadically burst into violence - these characters simply too big for the corner they've got themselves into and they will do ANYTHING to get themselves out of it!
