Survivor is a 2015 British-American spy thriller film directed by James McTeigue[1] and written by Philip Shelby. The film stars Milla Jovovich, Pierce Brosnan and Dylan McDermott.[2]

The film was released in the United States on May 29, 2015 in a limited release and through video on demand. The film will be released in the United Kingdom on June 5, 2015.[3]

Plot

A foreign service officer in London tries to prevent a terrorist attack set to hit New York, but is forced to go on the run when she is framed for the crimes she did not commit.

Cast

Production

The principal photography of the film Survivor began on January 20, 2014 in London.[1][2][4] The shooting was done in London for five weeks and then it moved to Sofia, Bulgaria for three weeks shooting.[5] On January 25, 2014 Jovovich was spotted during the filming of the film in London.[6]

Release

Alchemy acquired the United States distribution rights to the film on March 20, 2015.[7] The film was given a limited release and a video on demand release in the United States on May 29, 2015.[3] Lionsgate will release the film in the United Kingdom on June 5, 2015.[3]

Reception

Survivor has so far received negative reviews. IGN awarded it 5.0 out of 10, saying "The film is particularly disappointing as McTeigue also directed V for Vendetta, a much sharper, much more intriguing, much more thought-provoking look at our post-9/11 world.".[8] The Hollywood Reporter said "Considering that Survivor is lazily executed, cheap-looking B-movie shlock, it all feels terribly unearned."[9]
