Tiger Raid

Two Irish soldiers of fortune, Joe and Paddy, are working for a private security crew in the Middle East, whose boss is a man called Dave.

Tiger Raid is an adaptation of Mick Donnellan's stage production Radio Luxembourg.

[4] The lead actors are Brian Gleeson as Joe, Damien Molony as Paddy and Sofia Boutella as Shadha.

[7] Hannah Wales praises the "stellar performances" of the three main actors Brian Gleeson, Damien Molony and Sofia Boutella, as well as the dialogue and the "remarkable" scripts.

[8] Stefan Pape thinks that Tiger Raid "is enriched by its war-torn backdrop, with a certain intensity injected into proceedings, and an overriding sense of desolation that adds to the tone.

The narrative does go round in circles however and needless to say by the close of play tedium has well and truly taken over – but as debuts go, Dixon has presented a feature that could well signal the start of a prosperous career in film.
