Dressed in his usual dapper style, including a wax jacket, open shirt dark denim jeans, he couldn't help beaming as he tread the streets of the Irish capital.

Pierce both stars in and produces the new film, which also sees Anna Friel and Swedish actor Michael Nyqvist take leading roles.

He plays a successful publisher whose relationship with a young I.T. consultant sours, and soon finds that his new enemy is using using technology to threaten his family, business, and life.

As the cameras began rolling, Pierce was seen putting on gloves and balaclava to shoot one tense film, which saw him entering an old terraced house.
