Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot entirely in Jordan over 18 days with a crew of just 15 people. The budget was so tight that sandstorm damage to equipment nearly ended production.
The 'tiger raid' of the title refers to a real IRA interrogation technique — kidnapping and burying informants alive in secret locations, which the film deliberately parallels with mercenary moral rot.
