Critical Response

WHAT THE PRESS IS SAYING

Sight & Sound
A raw, kinetic vision that channels the best of 70s exploitation cinema through a distinctly modern lens. Armed and Dangerous Pictures is a company to watch.

Technically accomplished and narratively bold. These filmmakers understand genre — and they know exactly when to break the rules.

IndieWire
There's a ferocity to the work coming out of Armed and Dangerous Pictures that the indie scene has been missing. Uncompromising, urgent, and visually striking.
