The sensual thriller, which is out in cinemas July 14th has so far met with mixed reviews with some stating this civil war drama is “pulp made tasteful and flavourless” while others have swooned over its cinematic beauty and its touches of black and noir comedy. Whilst it won’t appeal to everyone, Sofia Coppola’s remake of Don Siegel’s 1971 Clint Eastwood led offering will certainly be a focal talking point amongst many film lovers.

Apart from one, the four newly released images depict Colin Farrell’s injured soldier John McBurney in a tension-fuelled atmosphere, and you could almost cut the tension with a knife just by gazing on the dark period set mood as he looks to get friendly with a number of the young ladies.

Joining Farrell on the cast of wily, and ultimately intimidating women are Nicole Kidman as the all girl’s school headmistress Martha Farnsworth, Kirsten Dunst as Edwina Dabney, Elle Fanning as Alicia, The Nice Guys Angourie Rice as Jane, Addison Riecke as Marie, Oona Laurance as Amy and Emma Howard as Emily.
