It turns out that the Horde is familiar with one of them, Howie ( Patrick Bergin ), who says he was hired to kill everyone. He tries to tell who the employer is, but at that moment he is killed. Chris suggests that Verne let go of Justine. Again they start to shoot, Gordon ( Noa Taylor ) is crawling behind Justine.

Harry moves in with Steve's car, and he, already dying, kills him with a shot through the bottom of the car and the driver's seat. Survivors Ord and Chris are sent to the exit with the money, but Justine shoots them (she was with Martin at the same time). She kills the Horde and wounds Chris, but as she leaves, she is horrified to see the police flashers and the approaching howl of sirens.

In October 2014, director Ben Wheatley assembled the cast to make a film based on the script, which he wrote with Amy Jump ^{[4] [14]} . Utlee spoke about the characters in his film not as heroes of an action movie suffering from clinical accuracy, his characters are people and each has its own life ^[4] . He noted that it was easier to edit this film than to edit the drama, since not to cut the words out of the dialogue in the drama, and the shooting scenes easily replace each other ^[4] . Actors often tried to improvise, sometimes it was possible, and when it was not possible the director demanded to follow the script ^[13] . According to Hammer, Wheatley has a Darwinian approach to the material, the strongest survives ^[13] . The film was produced and financed by the British television channel Film4 Productions ^[15] .

Recruitment

Charlto Copley was invited to play Vern, a gangster of narcissus in a polyester suit, prone to arrogance, speaking of himself as a rare pearl, but unable to use a weapon even to save his own life, reminiscent of a child of genius, but everything he thinks about himself has no relation to reality ^[16] . The brightness of Copley's character allowed him to shine in every scene, even alongside such actors as Larson and Hummer ^[16] . Copley tried to make his voice so annoying and everybody wanted to be shot if only he shut up ^{[16] [17]} . In April 2015, Brie Larson joined the cast, replacing Olivia Wilde , who left the project due to the filming schedule ^[18] . Larson was a fan of the work of Jump and Wheatley, she liked the script she read, thanks to two things, what was in the foreground and in the second, deeper ^[14] . Kilian Murphy was invited to play the role of Chris, who could not be called a positive hero or handsome ^[9] . Hammer played a pimp, neat handsome, resembling fix. There was some relaxation in his behavior, it was as if he didn’t give a damn about everything that was happening, as if he had already seen it ^[13] .
