As Good As Dead

As Good as Dead is a gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Robert “Bobby” Bishop is a compassionate public defender. He spends his days defending people who are wrongly accused. One evening, his life changed shockingly.

A terrified woman shows up at Bobby’s door and begs for help. She says her husband is being tortured by masked kidnappers. She pleads with Bobby to take her husband’s place and bring the ransom money. Acting quickly, Bobby tries to save a life. But soon everything goes wrong.

Before long, Bobby is the one kidnapped and chained. He has only two hours to raise £2 million. Is it a million? The exact amount is substantial, and the deadline draws closer with every passing moment. Bobby must think fast, but who can he trust? Every hint or helper might be part of the trap.

The film’s scenes unfold in tight, dark spaces: dank basements, traffic-clogged car parks and dim offices. Each setting adds pressure and raises the stakes. Bobby’s calm, legal mind is forced to adapt to violence and deception. He pieces clues together, only to discover that his own world might be connected to the chaos.

Amid the tension, the story also explores deeper ideas: What price do we pay for doing what’s right? Can justice protect those who seek it? Bobby’s journey becomes a test of ethics, courage and survival.
