Watch The Opening Scene From Gritty UK Cop Thriller HYENA

You like your cop thrillers boiled harder than hard? Then if advance word is to be believed, Gerard Johnson's Hyena is one for you. Boasting a stellar cast of quality character actors - Stephen Graham (Boardwalk Empire, This Is England), Neil Maskell (Kill List) and Richard Dormer (Game Of Thrones, Good Vibrations) are all on board - the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival pitch on the film keeps it short and sweet:

A ruthless undercover cop tries to rescue a young Albanian woman sold into sexual slavery.

It's all about execution with this sort of thing and to prove that Johnson's got the chops the good folks at TIFF have just released the film's opening salvo online. Take a look below.
