HOTEL MUMBAI Official Trailer Teases An Edge-Of-Your-Seat Tale Of Survival And Heroism

You’re forgiven if you’re inclined to feel a bit intrigued about the idea of repopularizing real-life tales of horror in cinema not too distant in between. It even fascinated film critic Peter Debruge in his Variety review of director Anthony Maras’ Hotel Mumbai which, in large part, is aimed at erecting a tale of humanity and heroism in the face of evil. Highlighting an era in which movies like United ’93 and Steven Spielberg’s Munich are tethered to draw more focus on the success of terroristic plots compared to the heyday glory of guys like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sean Connery, he makes a pretty good point. Actors Armie Hammer and Dev Patel are far from that particular crop and are placed forthwith in the narrative set in Maras’ new film which, for all intents and purposes, bodes, as The Guardian’s Katey Goh notes, as “an unlikely crowd pleaser”. At any […]

Imagine Phone Booth or Liberty Stands Still, but in a desert and the one thing holding you hostage is a non-negotiable explosive death trap. That’s what we now get in Well Go USA’s upcoming release, Mine, from directing duo Fabio Guaglione and Fabio Resinaro. …upon further thought, I’m also reminded of Doug Liman’s The Wall which I still need to check out. SYNOPSIS: This action-packed military thriller stars Armie Hammer (FREE FIRE, THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.) as a U.S. soldier who, stranded in the desert for 52 hours after a mission falls apart, must fight for survival against his enemies, the hostile environment, and the creeping psychological toll of his treacherous situation.

Things Get Messy In The New Trailer For THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.!

Lee B. Golden III

Aside from no longer starring in his recent efforts toward British SAS thriller, Stratton, standing the test of time on the big screen outside of the blue and red Superman outfit shouldn’t be too difficult for actor Henry Cavill. He’s got the fanbase he needs ahead of the upcoming Guy Ritchie-directed The Man From U.N.C.L.E. whereupon he’s primarily front and center and joined by actor Armie Hammer who could probably use the recovery after his last stint in The Lone Ranger. The film also services quite well as an adaptation of the classic TV series, coupled with its overall interest in a mix of espionage and suspense with a dash of international comedic wit and some sexual innuendo to boot. We’ll see how it pans out though when the film releases on August 14, but at least we’ve since garnered the new poster you see above in addition to a […]
