Gangs run the cities in Scotland’s first martial-arts flick, set in the near future. From the maker of 16 Years Of Alcohol.

Rejecting a truce masterminded by the mysterious, power-hungry Moses, the Purifiers – a gang of essentially decent people who can, if need be, kick you through a wall – find themselves fair game for the warring factions who control the various zones of a decaying Britain – and must fight to their last breath, simply to survive. Jobson's second feature is a cult-movie, pure and simple: a rapid-fire, action-packed thriller that reclaims the visual flair and kinetic thrills of Hong Kong chop-socky flicks, for these sceptr'd isles. Make no mistake, it's a hell of a ride.

Richard Jobson's second feature, after the acclaimed 16 Years of Alcohol (EIFF 2003), is a radically different from its predecessor, a determined departure from expectations. A Scottish martial arts movie, its origin lay both in its maker's fondness for Hong Kong chop-socky classics, the choreographed mayhem of King Hu and his ilk, and for US cult classics like The Warriors.
