Barry Keoghan's Irish thriller Calm With Horses is now available to stream for free.
Titled The Shadow of Violence in the US, the 2019 film is set in rural Ireland and follows ex-boxer Douglas 'Arm' Armstrong as he becomes the feared enforcer for the drug-dealing Devers family.
Trying to be a good father to his autistic five-year-old son, Douglas' loyalties are soon tested when he's asked to kill for the first time.
Calm With Horses is now available to stream for free in the UK on Channel 4's streaming service after airing on Film4 last night.
As well as Keoghan, the movie stars Warfare's Cosmo Jarvis, Peaky Blinders actor Ned Dennehy, The Wonder's David Wilmot and Braveheart's Liam Carney.

Directed by Nick Rowland, Calm With Horses was a hit with critics, earning a 'Certified Fresh' score of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes from 70 reviews.
"Calm With Horses presents a grimly effective portrait of one man's struggle with divided loyalties, elevated by standout performances from a stellar cast," reads the site's critical consensus.
Keoghan can currently be seen on the big screen in psychological thriller Hurry Up Tomorrow, which is an extension of Grammy winner The Weeknd's new album of the same name.
The singer stars alongside Keoghan and Jenna Ortega as a fictionalised version of himself battling insomnia, who is "pulled into a nightmarish odyssey with a stranger who begins to unravel the very core of his existence".

The film has a brutal score of just 14% from 69 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing, with critics branding it a "self-indulgent" vanity project for The Weeknd despite sound performances from both Keoghan and Ortega.
Keoghan is next set to star in Netflix's upcoming Peaky Blinders movie The Immortal Man. Set a few years after the events of the show's season six finale, the movie follows the Shelbys during World War II.
