Jim Sturgess in Fifty Dead Men Walking

I hadn't heard a lot about this film before catching this trailer (which is unnecessarilly red banded) but it seems like its going be a sleeper indie hit, a lot like Kathryn Bigelow's Hurt Locker, except probably with a bit more weight behind it since Jim Sturgess and Ben Kinglsey are on board.

ComingSoon.net has this brief set up for Fifty Dead Men Walking and an exclusive red band trailer you can see HERE.

In the real-life thriller, Sturgess plays Martin McGartland, a street hustler in Belfast who was recruited by British Intelligence to infiltrate the Irish Republican Army (IRA) in order to help prevent more deaths on both sides of the bloody war.

I don't have anything bad to say about this trailer. The cinematography looks impressive which I find happens a lot in indie films begging the question "Why aren't these film makers getting real budgets or studio support?" Who knows.

Check out the trailer and enjoy being shocked by Sir Ben Kingsley with hair.
