Description:

AMEN ALONGE chats to Paul Burke about his blistering debut A GOOD DAY TO DIE, Pretty Boy, London, Lagos, body count and character.

A GOOD DAY TO DIE: Meet Pretty Boy. Vengeance is on his mind.
His real name:
Unknown
His code of conduct:
Don't be a pawn in someone else's game.
Never underestimate the enemy.
Above all, survive. There is no glory in death.
His mission:
It's been ten years since Pretty Boy left the big city - today he's back. No one knows why, but it's clear that revenge is on his mind: he is determined to make the person responsible for his exile from the London scene finally pay. But his plans seem derailed when he takes possession of a bracelet, unaware that its original owner has set a high price for its safe return. Suddenly, the hunter becomes the hunted and Pretty Boy will have to find out if it is indeed a 'good day to die'.

AMEN ALONGE was born in Lagos and moved to London as a teenager almost twenty years ago. He took a Master's Degree at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, then worked as an engineer. He went on to take a screenwriting course at London Film Academy and, for a while, ran the family business, a sports media company that owned the global licensing rights for the Nigerian Football League. He changed careers since, and is currently training to become a solicitor. Amen lives in London with his wife and their son.
