There’s no large action set pieces bar a foot chase late on and Calibre is all the better for it.
As he builds up courage and slowly pulls the trigger, something unexpected leaves the two men shell-shocked and fighting for their futures. For those who can persevere or enjoy slow-burn thrillers, Calibre is a really impressive entry and does a great job with very little flair or flashy visuals.
Traveling deep into the dense, quiet woods, the two men stumble upon a deer, with Marcus encouraging Vaughn as he sets up to take his first shot. The next morning, a hungover Vaughn is awoken by an eager Marcus, as they are already running behind in their planned adventures. After Marcus and Kara leave together for the evening, Vaughn and Iona continue to drink as he opens up about his fears of becoming a father. Ahead of their hunting adventure, the two men pop into the local pub and meet some townspeople, including community leader Logan ( Tony Curran) and locals Kara and Iona. It may be bound for Netflix, but Matt Palmer's terrific, intensely terrifying Scottish twist on 'Deliverance' has big-screen swagger. Marcus, an avid hunter, is keen to teach Vaughn how to do so. The two drive from the city to the remote Scottish Highlands for a weekend of “stalking”. With his first child on the way, Vaughn ( Lowden) decides to take a weekend trip with his childhood schoolmate, Marcus ( McCann).
