The Butcher Boy

The Butcher Boy


Rated: R
In a small Irish town in the 1960s, Francis Brady (EAMONN OWENS) and his best friend Joe (ALAN BOYLE) play the usual childhood fantasy games of cowboys and adventurers. But outside of their children's play, real life is far less appealing for Francie. His father (STEPHEN REA) is the town drunk and his mother (AISLING O'SULLIVAN) is drifting into madness -- and a nosy, malicious neighbor, Mrs. Nugent (FIONA SHAW), torments Francie with his family's troubles every chance she gets. As Francie's family falls apart, the boy retreats into the fragmented comic-book world of his solitary dreams. Shunned and scorned by the people of the town and ultimately estranged from Joe, his only friend, Francie's frustration at the cruelty of the world finally explodes with shocking and violent consequences.

Simon Templar (Val Kilmer) is rich, sophisticated and almost supernaturally skilled at stealing even the most closely guarded of treasures. He is also cold and cynical, until his path crosses that of Emma Russell (Elisabeth Shue), a young scientist whose life is in terrible danger. Emma has discovered the key to Russian billionaire Ivan Tretiak's (Rade Serbedzija) overwhelming ambition -- to crown himself the first Czar of the new Russian Empire -- and he will do anything to neutralize the danger that she represents. Stirred by long-dormant feelings, Templar desperately fights to protect Emma while struggling to master the one identity he cannot assume with ease -- himself.

Quinn wakes up in the Colony, a think tank for spies who are too dangerous to roam the world, but too valuable to be killed. Now, his wife and unborn son have become the target of Stavros's lethal vengeance and there's only one man who can help put Quinn back in the game. With a flair for destruction and an affinity for trouble, the flamboyant but no less deadly weapons dealer Yaz (Dennis Rodman) may be Quinn's last hope.
