Dom Hemingway is a larger-than-life London safecracker with a loose fuse who is funny, profane, and dangerous. After 12 years in prison, he sets off with his partner in crime Dickie looking to collect what he’s owed for keeping his mouth shut and protecting his boss, Mr. Fontaine. After a near death experience, Dom tries to re-connect with his estranged daughter, but is soon drawn back into the only world he knows - stealing, beating and seducing - looking to settle the ultimate debt.

"There’s a great tradition of smart, slightly-off crime thrillers - movies with a criminal undertone, yet are really about fascinating human characters. I love those movies and I hope that Dom fits somewhere in that category. [...] He has his own ways of dealing with things and most of the time they get him in trouble. He’s volatile and dangerous, but he’s also funny. That combination makes for interesting cinema because while people like him, they don’t necessarily feel safe with him. There’s a sense that he could do anything. He could punch someone. He could start to cry or be profane. All of these things give the movie its energy. Dom is a devilish rascal of a man, yet deep down he has a real beating heart that starts to beat again by the end of the movie." [Richard Shepard]

Richard Shepard studied film at New York University. Over the course of his career, he has made seven independent films, written numerous screenplays for the studios and directed television series (including Criminal Minds, Criminal Minds: Suspect Behaviour, In the Motherhood, Ringer and Girls). For ABC’s Ugly Betty he won the Directors Guild of America Award. In 1991 he made his feature debut with The Linguini Incident, which he co-wrote with Rosanna Arquette, who stars alongside David Bowie. In 2005 he wrote and directed Matador, featuring Pierce Brosnan, who received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance. In 2009 his HBO documentary I Knew It Was You: Rediscovering John Cazale screened at Sundance and received an Emmy nod.
