But when an old face from the past arrives on his doorstep, Ryan is called upon to repay a blood debt from years ago. But the price is too high. Betrayed, and with his life falling apart around him, Ryan goes on a murderous, bloody revenge spree against the Ten Men who took his life away from him.

Critical reaction

“This is passionate genre filmmaking inspired by… Rodriguez and the hard-hitting but playful style of Quentin Tarantino”Richard Hawes, FaceBook Movies

“The film easily clubs aside any British alternative… this is revenge actually, a dish served cold and bloody, littered with plenty of limbs and shrapnel”Rich Badley, Close-Up Film

“Fusing action, drama and violence into a blistering whole, Ten Dead Men shows us Brits can hold our own in the action arena.”Andrew Skeats

“…well directed, great writing, incredible fight scenes and a star making performance from Carr all adding up to one of the best British action movies of the decade. “"'Will Strong , Combat Magazine
