An official U.S. release is still pending for Matthew Berkowitz’s MMA crime drama, A Violent Man. Folks in the U.K., however, earned a quieter release of the film by way of Thunderbird Releasing with availability already under way as of May 7.
Thunderbird is also apparently revealing its most recent trailer for the film which you can view below. Per the artwork above, the film features NFL running back-turned-actor Thomas Q. Jones in the role of Ty, an MMA champion whose life and career turn upside down when the reporter covering his story and success is suddenly found dead.
Rounding out the cast are Isaac de Bankolé, Chuck Liddell, Bruce Davison and Denise Richards.
Ty is a little known MMA fighter until a viral video reveals him beating the undefeated world Champion in a local gym. Ty is suddenly a murder suspect when the reporter covering his story is found dead, but why kill the journalist who would make him a legend?
Weaponized and 4Got10 helmer Timothy Woodward Jr. is back with an intense new thriller that’s sure to lend an eyeful of cerebral action and storytelling next month. Lo and behold, American Violence initiates its share of full tilt chaos with narrative driven by the tumultuous connection an unrelenting psychologist struggles to hold with a brooding death row inmate.
SYNOPSIS:
Jackson Shea (Kaiwi Lyman-Mersereau) has lived a life of deceit, brutality and corruption. But when a series of chilling, violent events lands him on Death Row, one psychologist (Denise Richards) must determine whether his violent behavior is inherent in his soul, or if he is able to be rehabilitated and saved from execution.
The title itself certainly grabs some intrigue and appeal and the performances here look well worth catching when Cinedigm releases the film in limited theaters, VOD and on Digital HD on February 3. Also starring Bruce Dern, Columbus Short, Johnny Messner, Michael Paré and featuring Stipe Miocic and Rob Gronkowski.
