JUST PLAY DEAD: AT CINEMAS
Marriage, money and murder collide in the action thriller Just Play Dead. When a billionaire facing arrest comes up with the perfect escape plan — fake his own murder and frame his wife’s lover — there’s one problem: she has a murder plan of her own. Directed by Martin Campbell, known for Casino Royale and The Mask of Zorro, the film stars Samuel L Jackson, Eva Green and Jason Fernández. Everyone’s lying, everyone’s plotting and nobody is safe.
