Colin Farrell has said that he was drawn to the conflicted loyalties of his London Boulevard character Mitchell.
In an interview with The AP, the actor explained that the reluctant gangster Mitchell is seemingly being chased by his troubled past.
"He has high ideals and he has a depth of experience that comes between him and those ideals. The life that he left behind, he didn't really leave behind," he remarked. "He walked away from it, but it's followed him and haunts him through this story."
Farrell also suggested that the gritty crime drama is not simply representative of the London underworld, but also of the struggles that every major city endures.
"You could move this film to Dublin, change the accents, and it would be an honest representation of a certain aspect of life in Dublin. And, I think most cities," the star said.
London Boulevard is now playing in UK cinemas and will be released in February in the US.
