There are huge parallels between the Agamemnon tale and what comes to pass in Calibre, where Vaughn, despite a moment of doubt, ultimately proceeds to shoot the deer he spots in the wood. Deer are as sacred to filmmakers as they were to Artemis in the famous Greek myth that has spawned a thousand copycats. The last thing you should do is kill a deer, as proved by Japanese horror trilogy, Ring, or in last year’s smash hit, Get Out. There is a Bambi syndrome of sorts in movies.
Inevitably, Marcus will rub the locals up the wrong way with his antics, though it’s not the first time, and it certainly won’t be the last. Vaughn just about manages to stay true to his beloved partner, despite the efforts of Iona ( Kate Bracken). He still snorts cocaine to stay sober and loses no time at all chatting up girls in the first pub they come to. Marcus has never really moved on from their boarding school antics, eternally lost in his own laddish world. Marcus, his best friend, cajoles him into going on one last pre-baby boys’ trip: a hunting weekend in the Scottish Highlands.
When we first meet our leading men, Vaughn is living in an apprehensive kind of bliss in Edinburgh, with his girlfriend who is pregnant with their first child.
