In Bruges - a picture with both a British and Irish pedigree - is the high-profile opening night Park City film.
It stars Ralph Fiennes, Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson and is the first full length feature from Irish playwright Martin McDonagh.
Farrell and Gleeson play eccentric hitmen ordered to visit the Belgian city while awaiting instructions from their malevolent boss, played by Fiennes.
It is being sold as Farrell's film, and the Irish actor does deliver quite nicely with his portrayal of a violent and vulnerable hit man in this absurd twisted dark comedy.
But it is Fiennes who gives a truly memorable performance as a rage-filled British gangster with no mercy when it comes to terminating human life.
