I love watching adventure travel programmes where people pack up mimimal things get on a bike and travel around the world or at least a famous trade route.Charlie Boorman did a few great programmes with his friend Ewan MaGregor on bikes plus 2 (By Any Means) by himself, so I wasnt surprised when I noticed hes in a movie which has a travel theme in it well its TRAVELLERS.
The movie is a independent thriller about 4 friends who set out on a motorcycle adventure weekend, clocking up miles in an attempt to outrun their age and urban lifestyles. After bartering with a local land owner for a place to set up camp, they spend the night reminiscing over their wasted youth. The following morning they spot an ominous looking caravan, and decide to investigate. Within minutes, an idiotic prank leads to a series of brutal events and a deadly race for survival. A modern plunge back into the worlds created by movies such as 'Deliverance' and 'Southern Comfort' but with a gritty British twang. Kidnap, murder and a hidden past are just some of the reasons these four adventurers should have stayed at home. An action thriller that will make you question who the villains really are. You cant outrun what's in your blood.
The movie also stars
Shane Sweeney,
Tom Geoffrey and
Alex Edwards and
Dean S. Jagger and the movie will get a limited cinema release on
January 13th before its released on dvd
February 7th. Its just ironic Charley Boormans dad John (and himself appeared in it) was the director of Deliverence, just surpise Boorman's not been in more movies or at least tv dramas, thats life for you!
