First Official Synopsis for DEAD MAN DOWN Starring Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace

We have the official synopsis for that Dead Man Down project, but it's not like you're going to hear something spectacular about the story. We already know the most of it, and, on the other hand – who cares about more details when we have great Colin Farrell on board, as well as his new on-screen love Noomi Rapace as the female lead? Ok, ok, you care… Then check the rest of this report… From producer Neal Moritz and Joel Wyman comes a triumphant action thriller, a powerful portrait of the relationship between two people caught in the crosshairs of revenge.

Dead Man Down centers on a brave enforcer Victor, played by Farrell, right hand man to an underground crime lord in New York City. He seeks to avenge the death of his wife and daughter caused by his boss. When his employer is threatened by a mysterious killer, Victor also becomes detective. Victor is seduced and blackmailed by Beatrice, played by Rapace, a victim turned avenger whose intense chemistry leads them spiraling into payback delivered in violent catharsis…

Let's just not forget the man who stands behind this project – Swedish director Niels Arden Oplev, who is also responsible for the original The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo movie, where Rapace played well-known character – Lisbeth Salander.
