A Common Man

A terrorist plants several bombs throughout the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka and threatens to detonate them unless prisoners are released.

Details

In the heart-pounding thriller A Common Man, the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka, is brought to its knees when a cunning terrorist mastermind plants multiple bombs throughout the city. This faceless perpetrator's demands are simple but deadly: release prisoners immediately, or face the devastating consequences. As panic ensues, the lives of millions hang in the balance.

Directed by Chandran Rutnam, A Common Man delivers a gripping narrative that explores the power wielded by an individual willing to sacrifice innocent lives for his cause. Starring Academy Award-winning actor Ben Kingsley as the terrorist and Oscar-nominated actor Ben Cross as the beleaguered police officer, the film showcases the clash of wills between these two formidable characters.

While the film primarily takes place within the confines of a police station, it expertly ratchets up the tension as the police force scrambles against time to find and disarm the bombs. With each passing minute, the stakes get higher, and the race against the clock becomes increasingly desperate.

A Common Man is a pulse-pounding thriller that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats as they witness the battle of wits between a determined terrorist and an equally determined law enforcement officer. Brace yourself for a thrilling cinematic experience that explores the depths of human desperation, courage, and the lengths one would go to protect innocent lives.
