Tiger Raid’s entry in the official 2016 festival brochure describes the film as “cleverly constructed and brimming with tension and pent up violence.”

It also features an alternative synopsis and reveals an 18 certificate for the film.

Two steely-eyed mercenaries engage in foul-mouthed banter and start to strike up unlikely friendship as they head off on a covert mission in the dead of night deep into the desert and enemy territory. Brian Gleeson and Damien Molony play the cold-blooded mercenaries, on a mission to kidnap a local woman, Sofia Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service), but her abduction leads to complications as secrets and lies are revealed and betrayal becomes the focal point of the bloody plans. Cleverly structured and brimming with tension and pent-up violence. [18]

Take a look at the full festival brochure below (Tiger Raid page 16).

Tiger Raid made its world premiere to critical success at Tribeca Film Festival in April and screened at the Cannes Film Market in May.

The feature is set for two screenings at the Edinburgh Film Festival, 6.10pm 25 June and 8.40pm 26 June.
