Once again, we have an upcoming action movie that at one time had a cool name in the likes of Deep Six but alas the powers that be deemed to change it to the blander Mafia Wars. Regardless of this hiccup, the film, from director Scott Windhauser, boasts a sensational action cast including Superman himself Tom Welling who goes toe to toe with Cam Gigandet who looks to be channeling his most famous character of Ryan McCarthy from Never Back Down. Bullets, bravado and beatdowns ensue in the new trailer just launched from Saban Films. Plus, the official key art looks cool and has a nun running and gunning so what could be any better than that?! Cue the religious fanatics coming out of the woodwork to complain but I feel she isn’t an actual nun in the film so calm down. Let’s watch!
Official Synopsis: Terry Jacobs (Tom Welling) is a recently paroled felon forced to go undercover to bring down Griff (Cam Gigandet), the head of the most infamous mob syndicate in Italy.
Windhauser helms from a script he also penned and supporting players include Cher Cosenza, Chris Mullinax, Al Linea, Sidhartha Mallya, Alessia Alciati, and Sterling Griffin. Check out some new images from the flick as well as we wait for the world premiere of old school chaos and hyper-violence!
The trailer supplied elicits the right response for action faithful with Welling going all one-man war and Gigandet showing us what probably happened to his character of Mccarthy after the events of the MMA thriller. I always knew that he wouldn’t amount to anything good. I kid though as the trailer is filled with blazing tracer fire and I love how Welling, who starred on Smallville for ten seasons, is truly embracing his inner action hero as he looks fantastic and the part of a black ops felon. Gigandet has been doing mostly heroic roles as of late so it’s definitely a welcome switch to see him go all in on being bad once again. Bring on the inevitable throwdown because I’ll be watching!
