TUBI is one of the best free streaming services for action fans as the site offers numerous choices ranging from high profile blockbusters to more obscure fair. If you can stand a few commercial breaks, then this is pretty much a virtual one stop shop for everything action.
To go along with the cache of films, Tubi has also been dabbling in original programming with new and exclusive films dropping every month and a great deal of them are adrenaline oriented. Sure, there’s hits and misses but for free, it’s a great way to waste some time.
The latest original flick comes on the form of filmmaker Daniel Zirilli’s latest offering which is called Phoenix. Starring genre favorite Neil McDonough as well as The Expendables star and former MMA champion Randy Couture, this one has B movie good time written all over it.
The plot is standard fair which sees WWE star Natalie Eva Marie as a U.S. Army hand to hand instructor who goes on the warpath when her father (Couture) dies of mysterious circumstances. Her mission of vengeance puts her on a collision course with former WWE tag team champion Oleg Prudius who is the man responsible. Expect mass casualties per usual as the bodies will hit the floor. Check out the latest trailer below!
Official Synopsis: Phoenix centers on Fiona “Phoenix” Grant (Marie), a U.S. Army veteran Sergeant who is teaching hand-to-hand combat skills in Afghanistan when she receives word that her father, Everett Grant (Couture), a prominent security specialist, has been killed in Florida. The police report says it was suicide, but Fiona doesn’t believe it. Encouraged to take a leave of absence by her commanding officer (McDonough), she heads back to the U.S. and soon learns that the prime suspect is Maxim Vasiliiev (Prudius), a ruthless local drug kingpin with an army of mercenaries and enough legal, political and business influence to keep him outside the law. Armed to the teeth, she plans to take out Vasiliiev with her bare hands, and nothing is going to stop her.
Zirilli directs along with co-writing the script with Alexander Nistratov from a story of Zirilli’s.
The fight choreography for the film is in good hands as veteran martial arts choreographer Arnold Chon handled the fight and stunt action. Phil Tan also contributed to the production with a fight scene and cameo.
Filmmaker Daniel Zirilli is keeping busy with a host of action film projects on his plate and this latest one has a pair of WWE stars along with former UFC champs Randy Couture and Rashad Evans. Throw in the always dependable veteran character actor Neil McDonough and this one looks to be a indie action good time. A solid crowd for an action movie indeed.
Phoenix is ready to be unleashed on August 30th exclusively on TUBI!
