2002, 127 minutes, Rated MA

John Malkovich makes an explosive directorial debut with this taut political thriller about an honest man caught in an tantalising web of intrigue, power and passion.

Academy Award nominee Javier Bardem (Before Night Falls) stars as lawyer-turned-policeman Agustin Regjas, who must catch the mysterious guerilla leader "Ezequeil" before his escalating reign of terror plunges the country into a bloody revolution. But will Rejas' growing obsession with a sexy, beautiful dancer Laura Morante (The Son's Room) cloud his judgement as he closes in on his prey? Pulsing with action and suspense, The Dancer Upstairs is "riveting" (Premiere)
