A former soldier, dishonored after a comrade goes rogue, seeks redemption and walks a fine line in the shadowy world of covert ops in the new action-thriller Sanctioning Evil. Vertical Entertainment is poised to release the new movie next week and we’ve got the trailer and key art for you below!
Synopsis: Staff Sergeant Reginald Barnes (Truvillion), a decorated war hero, is dishonorably discharged after four tours of duty when a soldier under his command goes rogue. Disenfranchised by the very government he served with honor, Barnes is now alone to piece his life back together. But he finds his way back into society after being recruited by the charismatic and ambitious politician Dakota Ambrose (McGowan) and his life is given new purpose. As the mission unfolds, Barnes and Ambrose walk a fine line between covert military operations on civilian soil and unsanctioned retribution toward an underground criminal element, all while being tracked by FBI special agent Kensington (Manning).
