In light of the tragic events in Nice, the film was hitting too close to home.

Released in France on Wednesday, the film involves a terrorist plot to bomb Paris. StudioCanal pulled adverts for the film a day after the attack and have now asked cinemas to stop showing the film altogether.

Game of Thrones actor Richard Madden aka Robb Stark also stars in the film.
