It’s time to lock and load as one of Europe’s hottest directors – the brilliant Fabrice Du Welz, now being fast-tracked to Hollywood – delivers explosive action in this tale of cops, robbers, and some very serious firepower!

Directed by
Fabrice Du Welz (Vinyan, Alléluia, Message From The King)

Starring
Ymanol Perset (Spiral)
JOEYSTARR (Polisse, 22 Bullets)
Gerard Lanvin (Point Blank, Secrets of State)

Young cop Vincent (Perset) works in the armory by day and trains to be a tactical shooter by night. But when his gun goes off after being attacked in the street, he turns to mysterious crackshot Milo (Starr) for help.

Soon, Vincent is dragged into a world of deceit and illegal arms – and when he finds himself linked to a string of robberies, he must work with his commander (Lanvin) to bring down the criminals he’s been unwittingly supplying with weapons.

With his finger firmly on the trigger, Fabrice Du Welz has crafted a stylish, white-knuckle ride of a crime thriller, armed to the teeth with ambitious set-pieces and high-octane shoot-outs – possibly his last word in proving himself Europe’s new master of B-movie genre cinema.

There’s also an enigmatic and stoic leading man in Ymanol Perset, who handles the action like a French Jason Bourne – and the supporting turn from rapper Joey Starr adds glitzy charm to the cast.

With Du Welz about to make his first language film, action fans outside of France and Belgium will get a taste of what he’s all about. And Colt 45 is sure become a cult gem – a movie the fans will be clambering to revisit once Du Welz makes his name on big stage. Load up and check it out!
