COMPETITION: WIN tickets to an exclusive Dublin screening of Idris Elba’s new thriller Bastille Day

Eoghan Doherty

Sacré bleu! We’ve got some free cinema passes pour vous…

OK, that’s the end of our rubbish attempt at speaking French. Can you blame us though? The film is called Bastille Day after all.

Starring Idris Elba (The Wire, Pacific Rim, Thor) Richard Madden (Game Of Thrones) and Kelly Reilly (True Detective, Sherlock Holmes), Bastille Day tells the tale of a young con young artist (Madden) and a former CIA agent (Elba) who team up and embark on an anti-terrorist mission in France.

A fromage-filled, romantic French comedy this is not…

We’ve also done some teaming up of our own and, with thanks to the ass-kickers at StudioCanal, we’re giving you the chance to win a pair of tickets to an exclusive preview screening of Bastille Day taking place in Cineworld, Dublin on Wednesday 20 April.

Doors open at 6.15pm for complimentary drinks in the bar and the film kicks off at 7pm.

And, as if you needed more incentive to enter than the promise of a free cinema date with JOE, check out Elba in all of his badass glory in the trailer for Bastille Day below.

If you’re looking for someone to kick down doors, jump through windows and track down the bad guys, then you’ve come to the right place.

He may be reckless and irresponsible, BUT HE GETS THE JOB DONE GODDAMNIT.
