Tell me that director Sophia Banks is next in line to join the cadre of filmmakers offering up a humbling serving of ample, good old-fashioned meat-and-potatoes action movies and I just might believe you. Redbox is streaming the official trailer for Banks’ latest, Black Site, which stars Michelle Monaghan, Jai Courtney and James Clarke.
CIA Agent Abby Trent (Michelle Monaghan) manages an underground black site facility that imprisons dangerous and high-risk detainees. Days before Abby’s reassignment to a new post, Special Ops bring in a high-value target at the top of every Most Wanted list — codename: Hatchet (Jason Clarke). Hatchet is notorious for killing his enemies in a gruesome manner, and for Abby, his capture is personal. Determined to avenge her husband’s death at the hands of Hatchet, Abby’s plan is soon thrown into chaos once Hatchet escapes and begins a bloody game of murdering the site officers —one-by-one. While Abby and the team hunt him down, she quickly discovers that there are moles within the ranks compromising the mission. With time running out, Abby doubts everyone around her, begging the question who can she really trust?
Black Site is produced by Todd Fellman, Mike Gabrawy and Basil Iwank, and written by Jinder Ho with additional writing by John Collee. Redbox will release the film on VoD from May 3.
