figures in the film’s best shock moment: 20 minutes in, her pleasant breakfast with a new lover is ruined by him losing part of his face as the sniper makes his first strike. Sadly, she’s not a particularly sympathetic vest-wearing, nail gun-wielding heroine, and the presence of at least two Jeremy Kyle Show – styled characters, plus Jack O’Connell essaying a Jack-the-lad thug for the umpteenth time reflect the weaker elements of Moran’s script. Additionally, we could have done without the online gamer teenager who contributes insight into the mystery gunman’s behaviour based on his gaming experience. Still, it’s generally taut and well done, with the masked, black-clad killer unveiled at the climax in the sub-genre tradition, complete with rant: “You people all deserved it…!”
