Calibre est un thriller britannique écrit et réalisé par Matt Palmer, sorti en 2018.

Synopsis

Deux jeunes hommes, amis de longue date, Marcus (chasseur expérimenté) et Vaughn (novice), partent pour un week-end de chasse au cerf dans les Highlands, en Écosse. Ils prennent des chambres dans l'hôtel d'un village isolé. Le lendemain d'une soirée au pub en compagnie de villageois (dont certains se montrent accueillants et d'autres inamicaux), ils partent en forêt chasser le cerf. Marcus prête l'un de ses fusils à Vaughn. Lorsqu'ils repèrent une biche, Marcus invite Vaughn à tirer. Celui-ci vise soigneusement la tête de l'animal mais, pris par le trac, il hésite longuement. Au moment-même où il fait enfin feu la biche bouge soudain la tête, et dans la lunette de son fusil Vaughn n'a que le temps de voir son coup de feu atteindre en pleine tête un jeune garçon qui se trouvait plus loin en arrière-plan. Marcus, qui observait la biche avec des jumelles, voit la scène. Les deux chasseurs courent vers l'enfant dont ils ne peuvent que constater le décès. Sous le choc, Vaughn est effondré à terre lorsque le père de l'enfant surgit à son tour. Découvrant le drame, le père ramasse au sol le fusil de Vaughn, prostré, et le pointe vers lui. Marcus, qui était resté en retrait, fait feu sur le père qui s'écroule à son tour, mortellement touché. Dépassés par les évènements, les deux chasseurs sont totalement désemparés. Mais Marcus se ressaisit et décide d'adopter une stratégie qui évitera d'attirer les soupçons: il faudra revenir enterrer les corps à la nuit tombée parce qu'il pense préférable de rentrer d'abord au village afin de se constituer un alibi en étant vus par les habitants. Ensuite il faut finir le séjour comme prévu. En effet Marcus ne veut pas s'enfuir: ils ont réservé pour trois jours à l'hôtel et un départ précipité ne manquerait pas de faire d'eux des suspects quand la population se sera alarmée de la disparition de l'homme et du garçon, et a fortiori si les corps sont retrouvés. Ils se contentent donc de dissimuler les corps dans des fourrés en attendant la nuit. Rentrés au village ils s'efforcent avec difficulté de faire comme si de rien n'était, mais ils sont choqués et Vaughn a le plus grand mal à dissimuler sa fébrilité... L'obscurité venue, de retour sur place avec une pelle et une lampe torche, ils creusent le sol pour ensevelir les deux corps. Marcus, en chasseur expérimenté, a l'idée de chercher dans un tronc d'arbre la balle qu'il a tirée sur le père de l'enfant et qui l'avait transpercé. Il la trouve enfin fichée dans un sapin, il l'extrait avec son couteau et la met dans sa poche, faisant disparaître ainsi une preuve de sa culpabilité. Mais alors qu'il soulève le corps de l'enfant pour l'enterrer, il se rend compte que la balle qui l'a tué n'est pas ressortie de son crâne. Craignant que si les corps étaient découverts une analyse balistique conduirait les enquêteurs à lui, il décide d'ouvrir la tête de l'enfant avec son couteau de chasse pour récupérer le projectile. Horrifié, Vaughn tente de s'y opposer, mais en vain (aucune scène "gore" n'est montrée). Les deux chasseurs finissent ensuite d'enterrer les corps et retournent au village. Là, Marcus et Vaughn tentent tant bien que mal de garder une attitude la plus naturelle possible. Mais le soir, alors qu'une fête de village rassemble toute la population, l'absence du petit garçon et de son père partis pour une promenade en forêt depuis le matin inquiète leur famille, et les hommes décident d'organiser une battue. Ils sollicitent l'aide de Marcus et Vaughn. Ne pouvant se dérober, ceux-ci suivent les recherches avec les hommes accompagnés d'un chien qui retrouve la piste des disparus et mène le groupe sur le lieu du drame. Les hommes commencent à creuser à l'endroit marqué par le chien. Restés légèrement en arrière, Marcus et Vaughn se savent perdus. L'horreur est découverte... Acculés, Marcus et Vaughn s'enfuient, et une course-poursuite s'engage.

Gary Hook, a new recruit to the British Army, takes leave of his much younger brother Darren. Hook's squad of British soldiers is sent to Belfast in 1971 in the early years of The Troubles. Under the leadership of the inexperienced Lieutenant Armitage, his squad goes to a volatile area of Belfast where Catholic Nationalists and Protestant Loyalists live side by side. The unit provides support for the Royal Ulster Constabulary as it inspects homes for firearms, shocking Hook with their rough treatment of women and children. The Catholic neighbourhood has been alerted to the activity and a crowd gathers to protest and provoke the British troops who, though heavily armed, can only respond by trying to hold the crowd back.

(Tyrese Gibson) are sent to shut down the operation and transport the crew (Ian, Kelly, Rodney, Davis, Liddle, Jeremy, Sammi, Rady, Kyle, Newman, and Dr. Gerber) out of the desert. However, en route to Beijing, a major dust storm disables one engine, forcing them to crash land their C-119 Flying Boxcar in an uncharted area of the Gobi Desert. Kyle falls to his death and the crash kills Dr. Gerber and Newman. Their cargo consists of used parts and tools from the rig, the rig's crew, and Elliot (Giovanni Ribisi), a hitchhiker. When the dust storm ends, it becomes apparent that they are 200 miles off course with only a month's supply of water. Jeremy (Kirk Jones), thinks about walking to get help, but Rady (Kevork Malikyan) explains that July is the hottest in the Gobi, and that he won't make it.

Marie, a 15-year-old girl, lives with Kathy, her mother, and occasionally babysits for her next door neighbor, Filthy, a poacher who is widely rumored to have murdered his wife. Marie and Kathy have been drifting apart, and there are unresolved issues between them. Kathy's behavior has been erratic, and Marie believes that her mother plans to leave her. When Filthy's young son, Sean, spontaneously dies of apparently natural causes while Marie is babysitting him, Marie becomes obsessed with her neighbor and begins to think that his stories about spirits in the hills may be true. Filthy, devastated by the loss of his son, reacts furiously when Marie loots his traps and breaks into his house to steal Sean's favorite toy. When Marie states that she needs these items in order to appease the spirits and contact his dead son, Filthy initially dismisses the myths as idle stories he told Sean. However, Filthy eventually comes to believe Marie and commits suicide to be with son, whom he believes to be lonely. Before he dies, Filthy urges Marie to return to her own father, and Marie realises that she has repressed her mother's suicide; instead of living with her mother, she has been working through her grief and denial while ignoring her father.
