Marvel's Brie Larson and Peaky Blinders' Cillian Murphy fans can now see the duo in action thriller Free Fire, which has just landed on Netflix UK.

The 2017 film, which was directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ben Wheatley, follows Larson's character Justine and her fight for survival after a black-market arms deal she organises between two IRA members and a gang turns fatal.

Murphy and Kill List's Michael Smiley play the two Irishmen, Chris and Frank, while Call Me By Your Name's Armie Hammer portrays arms dealer Ord.

Other cast members include Sam Riley (Maleficent), Enzo Cilenti (The Serpent Queen), Sharlto Copley (Russian Doll), Babou Ceesay (Rogue One), Jack Reynor (Midsommar) and Noah Taylor (A Small Light).

While Free Fire was a misfire at the box office, grossing just $3.8 million worldwide compared to its $7 million budget, it is certified fresh on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes with a respectable critics score of 70%.

Larson was last seen on the big screen back in May playing Mr Nobody's (Kurt Russel) daughter Tess in Fast X.
