New Cinema, Romance Cinema
From the producers of Yesterday, The Score boldly combines real-time heist-thriller suspense with offbeat romance and a killer soundtrack; starring and featuring the music of Johnny Flynn, alongside Naomi Ackie and Will Poulter.
Small time crooks Mike (Johnny Flynn) and Troy (Will Poulter) are on a mission – the ‘score’ – that they both expect will transform their lives. Waiting at a roadside café for their hand-over, Troy questions his path in life, and falling in love with waitress Gloria (Naomi Ackie), tries to work out how to escape. Meanwhile, danger is driving to meet them…
The Score combines a classic criminal fable from Malachi Smyth with original songs written and performed by Johnny Flynn, alongside other cast members.
The songs can seem to operate on their own plane: When Flynn croons through a window, it’s almost surprising to see his breath mist the glass.
