It’s hard to believe that it has been sixteen years since Kiefer Sutherland said farewell to his most iconic onscreen character in 24’s Jack Bauer. The TV series ran for nine years with another limited series hitting a few years later and Sutherland’s Jack Bauer was and still is to this day one of action’s most bad ass anti-heroes. Sutherland has filmed a few westerns and such but has mostly stayed away from action since but that us all about to change.
Vertical has unleashed a new trailer for Sutherland’s new black ops actioner titled Brothers Under Fire which was formerly known as Sierre Madre. I was wondering what had happened to this film as I first reported on it all the way back in November of 2024, but it will now see the light of day next month with the new title. Sutherland is back being bad so scroll below for the first look at the new trailer as he takes on a drug cartel targeting the men in his unit!
Captain Jordan Wright (Kiefer Sutherland) and his squadron are on leave for the wedding of one of their own in Mexico. The celebration is interrupted by a murderous cartel, with tragic consequences. As Jordan leads survivors to safety, war erupts between his squad and the cartel, forcing him into a battle to save his men.
Sutherland stars along with Omar Chaparro, Laura Osma, Tommy Martinez, Solly McLeod, Orlando Pineda, Laird Akeo, and Ashton Sanders. British filmmaker Justin Chadwick (The Other Boleyn Girl) helms the film from a screenplay penned by Ian Mackezie Jeffers and Delbert Hancock which comes from a story by James Keach and Trevor Albert.
First reactions to the trailer show that it’s great to see Sutherland do what he did back in his 24 days. I mean his pose on the poster screams 24 and was probably taken from it. The action dies look somewhat routine in the trailer, but I never reviewed a movie based off its trailer like a lot of people do (you know who you are). Even if the action doesn’t rise to the lofty heights of Extraction, it will still be great to see Kiefer throwing down and he is one that elevates any film he is in and makes it better. With that, I will give Brothers Under Fire the benefit of the doubt.
Brothers Under Fire hits theaters, VOD and Digital on April 17th, 2026!
