Keepers
Director: Kristoffer Nyholm (TV’s “Taboo,” “The Killing”)
Cast: Gerard Butler, Peter Mullan, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Gary Lewis
Details: After a string of ridiculous action thrillers and occasional spikes of grittier fare, Gerard Butler tries his hand at something smaller and more low key, but still within his wheelhouse – a paranoia thriller set in isolation. Butler, Scottish vet Peter Mullan and Taylor Swift’s current beau Joe Alwyn star as three lighthouse keepers sent for a six week shift on an uninhabited island twenty miles from the rugged Scottish coast.

Settled into a normal quiet routine, something unexpected happens when they stumble upon gold and shortly after a boat appears in the distance that might hold the answer. So begins a tense battle for survival, as paranoia and greed take hold in dark tale which suits the talents of “Taboo” and the original “The Killing” director Kristoffer Nyholm who makes his film debut here.
