Saban Films has been busy today with the release of the trailer for American Insurrection and now we have yet another gritty action tale in the form of Last Man Down which focuses on an ex-spec ops soldier who must come out of retirement and reignite his long dormant skills to save a life. Check out the new footage and key art below!
After civilization succumbs to a deadly pandemic and his wife is murdered, John Wood – a special forces soldier – abandons his duty and becomes a hermit in the Nordic wilderness. Years later, a wounded woman appears on his doorstep. Maria Johnson is an escaped lab rat, and her pursuers believe her blood is the key to a worldwide cure. Though John is hesitant to get involved, all doubts are cast aside when he discovers Maria’s pursuer is none other than Commander Stone, the man that murdered his wife some years ago.
Helmed by Fansu Njie, Former bodybuilding champ Daniel Stisen is front and center as the lone wolf warrior who takes on an army to do the right thing. There’s no shortage of hard to the bone action to be had from the initial teaser so this one looks like a good time view on a Saturday night. Stisen looks pretty damn good in the fierce former soldier role as well so I’ll give it a look for sure.
The look and feel of the movie definitely has a throwback 80’s, 90’s vibe to it and Stisen looks like a crisis between Paul Bunyan and Rambo so that right there makes for interesting viewing.
Last Man Down hits Digital and On Demand on October 19th!
