Russell Tovey is Back with new Gay Romantic Thriller

 

Plainclothes is an upcoming movie about an undercover cop (played by Tom Blyth) who's job is to lure and arrest gay men for public sex. But when he meets a sexy new target (Rusell Tovey), however, the closeted cop can no longer hide his own suppressed sexual urges.

Plainclothes, expected to be released later this year, recently premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival.

Luckily, reviews look good. 

IndieWire's Ryan Lattanzio noted that this is "the most emotionally (and physically) naked performance yet from rising British star Tom Blyth."

Tovey talked to Vanity Fair about the many closeted men he's played in his career, admitting that he, too,  struggled to accept his sexuality. 

"That feeling was so visceral and overwhelming as a kid, that there's something in exorcising it when I'm playing these roles," he shared.
