When the ICTY concludes, David Locke, a former British soldier turned UN war crimes investigator, faces the prospect of an early retirement. One night, David is approached by a ghost from his past - a victim of the Yugoslav wars named Emir Ibrahimovic. Emir believes he’s located the notorious and previously presumed dead paramilitary commander Ivan Novak, living in plain sight in Belgrade, Serbia. Despite the disapproval of his superiors, David goes to Belgrade on a solo mission funded by Emir, in order to hunt, capture, and bring to justice the man who has caused so much pain in the world. As David ingratiates himself with Novak's estranged wife and son, he starts to question the morality of his mission and the intentions of his sponsor.

Erin Free FILMINK (Australia) …a tough, cogent work never afraid to take a bold step into pure darkness. Rated: 17/20 Oct 11, 2023 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Here Be Dragons has two note-worthy performances from Sapsford and Bestic. Rated: 3/5 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com For a thriller, Here Be Dragons is jarringly lacking in actual thrills. While its drama is often quite effective, action sequences that should be fraught with suspense fail to ignite a spark and play out with a lack of tension. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat A decent thriller... moves us right along to the final moral quandary that will have you thinking about where we’re heading as a species down the road. Rated: 7/10 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review James B An awesome and original film that perfectly captures the gloomy mood of a complex and sometimes neglected period of modern history that is important to our understanding of geopolitics broadly speaking and is particularly relevant to ongoing disputes/ conflict in the region and beyond today. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/02/24 Full Review Rosa S I highly recommend this thrilling movie. It's an intense and immersive experience with great visuals and music, a gripping story, and fantastic performances. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
