Synopsis:
Two brothers return to the hometown they left years previously. Richard, the elder, is strong and purposeful. Anthony is simple, younger, more hesitant and keen to mimic the actions of the sibling he reveres.
As the brothers set up camp in the hills overlooking the town of Matlock, the local crew of small-time druggies begin to question their return. One by one Richard hunts them down as he embarks on a chilling quest for revenge as a brother's love sparks calculated violent retribution.
Paddy's role:
Richard, an ex-solider who returns from the army in order to reap revenge on his brothers' tormentors. Paddy plays a focused and calm but cold character with a touch of black humour. |

Killer Quote:
"...If I were you, i'd get in that f*ckin' car and I'd get out of here man. I'd gather them goonies and get whatever you've got comin' mate, 'cause i'm gonna f*ckin' hit you all....I'm not threatening you mate. It's beyond f*ckin' words. I watched over you when you were asleep and I looked at your f*ckin' neck and I was that far away from slicing it. (opens up his hand right hand and points towards his palm) "You're f*ckin' there mate! (snaps his fist shut)...So get in that car, and f*ck off! You get to me first! "
