Director: Ranjeet S. Marwa
Ballistic follows a homeless army veteran whose fragile peace collapses when he learns the man responsible for his sister's death has walked free years ahead of schedule.
What is Ballistic about?
Beck sleeps rough on the streets of a British city, carrying wounds from his military service that never fully closed. When word reaches him that the man behind his sister's death has been granted early release, the news reopens a decade-old grief he thought he'd buried. Director Ranjeet S. Marwa follows Beck as he abandons whatever stability he'd built and tracks the man through a landscape of derelict flats, all-night diners, and old military contacts who owe him favors. The film leans into grimy urban textures rather than slick action choreography, positioning Beck's declining mental state as much a threat to him as the man he's hunting. James Jaysen Bryhan anchors the film in the lead role, playing Beck as someone whose training makes him dangerous and whose trauma makes him unpredictable.
Cast & crew
James Jaysen Bryhan carries the film as Beck, supported by Carl Wharton, Christopher Torretto, and Phillip Mawdsley in roles that fill out the story's underworld of ex-soldiers and small-time criminals. Barry Nash, Ryan Noire, Damien Lanceley, and David Lamont round out the cast.
Context & significance
Ballistic arrives from British genre filmmaking that favors character-driven revenge stories over franchise spectacle, joining a run of low-budget UK thrillers built around a single wounded protagonist. Ranjeet S. Marwa keeps the scale contained, focusing on one man's unraveling rather than a wider conspiracy, which gives the 95-minute runtime a tight, unbroken momentum.
