THE MARKER

OUT Tbc sepTember

A criminal tormented by the ghost of the woman he killed sets out to protect the daughter he orphaned in a sombre British noir with more on its mind than the usual gangster clichés. Writer-director Justin Edgar establishes a bleak mood from the off, while the Tom Hardy-like Frederick Schmidt brings a brooding purposefulness to his role as the redemptionseeking Marley. (Yes, as in Marley’s ghost.)
