Icon Film Distribution is excited to present “Odyssey,” the latest feature film from acclaimed director Gerard Johnson, known for his previous adrenaline-fueled thrillers “Tony,” “Hyena,” and “Muscle.” This month, the film will have its UK premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, followed by its London premiere at FrightFest. “Odyssey” will soon be released in UK cinemas.
A cutthroat real estate agent takes a spectacular fall from the corporate ladder when her loan sharks call in their debts.
Fiery, sharp-tongued, and ambitious real estate agent Natasha Flynn lives every day on the verge of total success – or ruin. Her luxurious lifestyle is an unaffordable mask for the lonely void she’s tried to fill with the hustle for success. Then, when a shady lender forces her complicity in a criminal scheme to settle a debt, Natasha seeks out a dangerous old friend for help. As pressure from colleagues, collectors and criminals escalates, so begins a wild, neon-soaked ride through London’s dark underbelly.
This stylish, gritty, and darkly comedic thriller, fearlessly confronting the contemporary housing crisis and corporate greed, is led by a powerhouse performance from Polly Maberly (Muscle), who stars alongside Mikael Persbrandt (Sex Education, The Salvation, The Hobbit). The cast is rounded out by incredible British talent, including Guy Burnet (Oppenheimer, Ray Donovan), Jasmine Blackborow (The Gentlemen, Marie Antoinette), Daniel De Bourg (MobLand, Fountain of Youth) and Peter Ferdinando (Ghost in the Shell, High-Rise).
A critical hit following its World Premiere at SXSW 2025, Odyssey is the latest feature from acclaimed director Gerard Johnson, known for previous adrenaline-fuelled thrillers Tony, Hyena and Muscle. The film also features an original score by internationally renowned post-punk band, THE THE.
