The Vigilantes You Secretly Root For
Let's start with Ian Ogilvy, the mastermind behind the vigilante justice. He plays Richter, a man driven by personal tragedy to clean up the streets. You might recognize him from *Return of the Saint*! Think suave secret agent, but with a touch more… revenge.
Then there's James Cosmo, a face you've probably seen in everything from Braveheart to Game of Thrones. He portrays John, the muscle of the group, a quietly menacing presence with a surprising soft spot.
Christopher Ellison, known for his role in *The Bill*, brings a touch of old-school police procedural to the team. He is Aaron, a character whose no-nonsense attitude adds to the film's gruff charm.
And we can't forget Alison Doody, who played Elsa Schneider in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Seeing her alongside these seasoned actors adds a touch of Hollywood glamour to the gritty British setting.
