After decent reports for its film festival screenings, the thriller Felony is now in the run up to its cinema release. While it doesn’t appear firm UK or US dates are set yet, it’s out in Australia on August 28th.

The film stars Joel Edgerton (who also wrote the script) as a decorated police officer, who when driving home after a celebration drink with his team after the long waited bust of a major gang, runs a young cyclist off the road. As he gives CPR to the child, fellow officers arrive to take his statement. In a split second decision he tells them a lie about the accident, which will change all their lives in this edge of your seat thriller.

Jai Courtney is another cop who suspects that Edgerton has been lying, while Tom Wilkinson is the lead police investigator who arrives on the scene following the accident.
