**Hyena **is a British thriller that should tickle the fancy of fans of Kill List, The Long Good Friday, **Filth **and another punchy crime fare. Overseen by Mona Lisa’s Stephen Woolley and his production partner Elizabeth Karlsen - as well as Number 9 Films' Jo Laurie - it has a new UK trailer that’s debuting right here.

Director Gerard Johnson’s last film, Tony, saw Peter Ferdinando playing a serial killer who did very nasty things to people before dumping them into the Thames. This time around he’s on the other side of the law. Well, supposedly. As Michael Logan, a police officer with a drug habit and the loosest sense of morality on the Met, he’s up against a bunch of Albanian gangsters even more crooked than he is. “An anti-hero for our times” is how the film bills him. But will he live long enough to be an anti-hero for other times, too?
In something of a Ben Wheatley reunion, **Hyena **also features Kill List’s Neil Maskell and MyAnna Buring. Fingers crossed the hammer was busy with other projects.
You can catch it in UK cinemas from March 6, 2015.
