GOD IS A BULLET Review: A Ballistic Essay On Faith Underscores A Deadly Rescue Mission, And A Nightmaring Journey Of Redemption
7.5 min. read God Is A Bullet releases on Digital beginning July 11. “Boston Teran” isn’t a real name. I haven’t looked into this person’s life too much and I reckon there won’t be much to find past his Wikipedia page. The bio included in the press kit does offer some intriguing factoids about our pen-named author here though, citing him as Bronx-born and having come from an Italian family of “gamblers, con men, number runners, and thieves,” and a travel history and experience that has gradually fueled his writing. For this, it’s worth considering he’s had more than plenty reason to retain his anonymity, given the research he must have completed, looking into real-life events that supplemented his debut novel, “God Is A Bullet” back in 1999. To add, I can only wonder what the conversations must have been like between Teran, the parties involved, and filmmaker Nick Cassavetes, […]
GOD IS A BULLET Hails A June Arrival With The Official Poster
Patriot Pictures and XYZ Films have brought on Wayward Entertainment to release Nick Cassavetes’s newest thriller, God Is A Bullet. The trio have released a first look still which you can view in the lead just beneath, along with the official poster at the bottom of the page. Cassavetes wrote and directed the pic inspired by true events and based on the novel of the same name by Boston Teran. The film follows detective Bob Hightower (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who finds his ex-wife murdered and his daughter kidnapped by an insidious cult. Bob takes matters into his own hands and infiltrates the secretive cult to try to save his daughter. With the help of the cult’s only female victim escapee, Case Hardin (Maika Monroe), Bob and Case go down the rabbit hole with The Ferryman (Jamie Foxx) to save his daughter and find closure for Case from the cult – and […]
DAY SHIFT Review: Jamie Foxx Battles Vampires in the latest Netflix Original
Okay, it’s not necessarily an across-the-board universal truth or anything but I think we can all agree that there’s a degree of sameness to a lot of Netflix originals. That was my main concern going into “Day Shift”. Being J.J. Perry’s debut feature, I’m guessing a lot of people reading this had similar concerns about what could go wrong with this film. In my case, I’m confident in saying that my concerns were coming from a completely different place. I was concerned less as a fan of action films and moreso as a diehard fan of the vampire movie subgenre. Luckily for me (and for everyone who is coming to “Day Shift”), those concerns turned out to be much completely unfounded and I ended up shockingly impressed. If you also know as little as I did about “Day Shift” going in, I will try to keep things as spoiler-free as […]
DAY SHIFT Trailer: Jamie Foxx, Vampire Slayer
Actors Jamie Foxx, Dave Franco and Snoop Dogg are front and center as we check out what’s to come in the new action horror thriller, Day Shift. The film marks a headlining debut at the helm for stunt professional J.J. Perry who is well into his craft as one of Hollywood’s most notable coordinators, choreographers and second unit directors. Jamie Foxx stars as a hard working blue collar dad who just wants to provide a good life for his quick-witted daughter, but his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job is a front for his real source of income, hunting and killing vampires as part of an international Union of vampire hunters. Day Shift opens on August 12 on Netflix and it looks like an absolute banger. Check out the trailer above and the poster below.
Scott Adkins to work the “Day Shift” for action master J.J. Perry
Not too long ago legendary action coordinator J.J. Perry was on Scott Adkins’s YouTube show “The Art of Action” and dropped some hints that he and Scott, who first worked together on the low-budget action classic UNDISPUTED 2, would be teaming up again soon. Well… now we know what J.J. Perry was referring to as THR has reported that Scott Adkins is the latest addition to the cast of DAY SHIFT. A Netflix original film that will mark J.J. Perry’s main directorial debut. Adkins joins a cast headlined by Jamie Foxx but also includes Snoop Dog, Dave Franco, and Meagan Good. The story sees Foxx as a hard-working single father- whose California pool cleaning job is just a front for his real work; killing vampires. Will Adkins be teaming up with Foxx to spin kick some bloodsuckers or will he be squaring off with the lead as a member of […]
DAY SHIFT: Jamie Foxx Reunites With Stunt Coordinator J.J. Perry For New Netflix Vampire Thriller
Industry stunt professional J.J. Perry has come a long way into a career of more than thirty years, from his young career in martial arts to military service, to becoming one of the foremost entertainers in film and television since the late eighties. Among his nominal list of credits in stunts, fight choreography, stunt coordinating and supervision, he’s best known for Warrior (2011), Haywire (2012), John Wick (2015) & John Wick: Chapter Two (2017), Bloodshot (2020), Fate Of The Furious (2018) and next year’s long-delayed F9, just to name a few. To boot, the stunt multi-hyphenate has also been working his way up the ladder to one day direct his own film. Previous reports have teased this little tidbit with unconfirmed details that have since remained off the radar, although it looks as if Perry’s latest milestone may just come yet, with the news of his forthcoming directorial debut, vampire […]
PROJECT POWER Trailer: Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt And Dominique Fishback Battle A Super-Powered Drug Epidemic
The Batman screenwriter Mattson Tomlin’s latest work-up in the sci-fi/superhero purview will soon get an audience this month with the upcoming movie, Project Power. That it comes from Nerve directing duo Henry Joost and Ariel Schulmann – currently behind efforts to adapt MegaMan for the big screen, speaks aptly to the mind of visually stimulating, elevated allure that’s on target for a film of this kind, which puts actors Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishback in great company. On the streets of New Orleans, word begins to spread about a mysterious new pill that unlocks superpowers unique to each user. The catch: You don’t know what will happen until you take it. While some develop bulletproof skin, invisibility, and super strength, others exhibit a deadlier reaction. But when the pill escalates crime within the city to dangerous levels, a local cop (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) teams with a teenage dealer (Dominique […]
Otto Bathurst’s ROBIN HOOD Teases A Warrior In The Making In The Official Trailer
Keeping in line with the sleek and stylish air of action seen in Kingsman, moviegoers are invited to rejoin actor Taron Egerton in his latest iteration of the title folk hero in Robin Hood (sans ‘Origins’). Otto Bathurst directs his Peaky Blinders and Black Mirror follow-up, bringing less of the cerebral and just as much intensity to the spectacle that can now be sampled in the new official trailer with much more Jamie Foxx this time around as Bathurst’s choice for John. Robin of Loxley (Taron Egerton) a war-hardened Crusader and his Moorish commander (Jamie Foxx) mount an audacious revolt against the corrupt English crown in a thrilling action-adventure packed with gritty battlefield exploits, mind-blowing fight choreography, and a timeless romance. Rounding out the cast are Ben Mendelsohn in the antagonistic Sheriff with Eve Hewson, Tim Minchin and Jamie Dornan also starring for a November 21 release from Lionsgate.
Otto Bathurst’s ROBIN HOOD Unveils The Legend In The First Teaser Trailer
I have lived through at least three feature-length adaptations of the classic medieval hero Robin Hood – the most memorable version to date being Kevin Reynolds’ signature 1991 Kevin Costner starrer. I watched it religiously when I was younger and with Alan Rickman stealing the show through and through as the Sheriff of Nottingham. Sans Men In Tights, Ridley Scott followed suit with his own offering in 2010 with Russell Crowe which I sort of barely remember, to be honest. I guess it may be no surprise to many that studios saw an opportunity when at least four stepped up, promising their own take on the folkloric medieval legend. Thus, we now get a new incarnation starring actor Taron Egerton in the title role and with Jamie Foxx also headlining as John in Sony’s November 21 release of Robin Hood. Otto Bathurst (Pinky Blinders) sits at the helm for this […]
The Official Trailers For Edgar Wright’s BABY DRIVER Are Absolutely Cool!
Fresh from its premiere at SXSW comes Cornetto trilogy helmer Edgar Wright’s kinetic new heist thriller, Baby Driver. Ansel Elgort leads the cast for the film which has already reciprocated a spate of upworthy reviews ahead of the film’s August release, and for this, we get some terrific footage out of it in two new trailers, one domestic and one international and slightly longer. SYNOPSIS: A talented, young getaway driver (Ansel Elgort) relies on the beat of his personal soundtrack to be the best in the game. When he meets the girl of his dreams (Lily James), Baby sees a chance to ditch his criminal life and make a clean getaway. But after being coerced into working for a crime boss (Kevin Spacey), he must face the music when a doomed heist threatens his life, love and freedom. Take your pick. You can’t lose! Also starring are Kevin Spacey, Lily […]
Jamie Foxx Action Thriller SLEEPLESS Heads To Blu-Ray, DVD and Digital HD This April
Sleepless (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD) Director Baran bo Odar’s crime remake, Sleepless, is still in my personal viewing queue and eventually I’ll post my own thoughts on it in a review or via Instagram. In the meantime the film is heading to DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital in the coming weeks with Jamie Foxx spearheading the action and thrills, and Universal Pictures is more than pleased to accomodate. Undercover police officer Vincent Downs (Foxx) thrives in the high stakes web of corrupt cops and the mob-controlled casino underground of Las Vegas. But when a heist goes wrong and a crew of homicidal gangsters kidnaps Downs’ teenage son, he must evade an internal affairs investigation, rescue his son, and bring the kidnappers to justice all in one sleepless, pulse-pounding night. Foxx is joined by Michelle Monaghan, Dermot Mulroney, David Harbour, Tip “T.I.” Harris, Gabrielle Union and Scoot McNairy for the […]
Catch Jamie Foxx In The Badass New Red-Band Trailer For SLEEPLESS
Right about now you’ll be spotting clips here and there online for director Baran bo Odar’s new movie, Sleepless. Enter actor Jamie Foxx whose robust career in film and entertainment now lends us a pure, tough role that moviegoers may get a kick out of when the film opens this weekend, marking the second iteration of its 2011 French language predecessor, Blanche Nuit – the first being Kamal Haasan’s Thoongavanam in 2014. SYNOPSIS: Undercover Las Vegas police officer Vincent Downs (Jamie Foxx) finds himself caught in a high-stakes web of corrupt cops, internal affairs and murderous gangsters. When a failed heist leads to the kidnapping of his teenage son, Downs must race against time during a wild and restless night to save him and bring the criminals to justice. Advancing its February release to this Friday in the U.S. from Open Road Films, a red-band trailer is now out and […]
Jamie Foxx Brings The Heat In The First Trailer For Action Crime Remake, SLEEPLESS
So how does one go about remaking a French crime pic? Well, you can talk to either Rajesh M. Selva of Thoongaavanam fame, or pan over to helmer Baran Bo Odar whose latest American iteration, Sleepless, has a trailer now running ahead of its February 24, 2017 release from Open Road Films. Front and center is actor Jamie Foxx with a career having turned much more prolific over the years in film over music. It does him justice though, and with a script by Andrea Berloff (Straight Outta Compton) which sees Foxx in the role of a corrupt Las Vegas cop caught in the crosshairs of an Internal Affairs investiagtion, and gangsters holding his son for ransom when the shipment of cocaine he stole gets lost. Also starring are actresses Gabrielle Union and Michelle Monaghan, and actors Dermot Mulroney, Tip “T.I.” Harris and Scoot McNairy. Watch the new trailer below […]
Jamie Foxx Is Playing Little John In ROBIN HOOD: ORIGINS
Deadline is reporting that Jamie Foxx is being tapped to star in director Otto Bathurst’s Robin Hood: Origins from Lionsgate. The film is one of four differently-toned Robin Hood titles from seperate studios expected to arrive in the next several years, here with Foxx joining actor Taron Egerton in the title role with actress Eve Hewson as Maid Marian. Knights Of The Roundtable scribe Joby Harold is providing the script which sees Egerton as Robin Hood who forms a band of outlaws to rid Sherwood Forest of the evil and corruption he’s discovered upon his return from the Crusades. In courting his Merry Men, he meets Foxx who will portray a battle-hardened yet war-weary Little John who distrusts Robin at first since fighting on opposite sides during the Crusades, but grows to trust him over time. Filming will commence once Egerton fulfills his Kingsman sequel duties this Spring. Harold is […]
Gabrielle Union Joins Jamie Foxx In SLEEPLESS NIGHT For Open Road
It’s been a while since I’ve heard from actress Gabrielle Union. Immediately the first thing that comes to mind when I think of her is her role in Cradle 2 The Grave and Bad Boys 2 and I’m happy to still see her name make the rounds when it comes to the action genre. No kung fu stuff here though. THR confirmed that the actress will be joining actor Jamie Foxx in director Baran Bo Odar‘s new film, Sleepless Night. The film was announced back in January from Open Road Films ahead of its position this year at Cannes with Foxx staking his claim along with actress Michelle Monaghan in respective roles reprising those from an original French cop thriller released in 2011. SLEEPLESS NIGHT is the story of Vincent Downs (Jamie Foxx), a seemingly corrupt Las Vegas cop. When gangsters kidnap his son as ransom for a shipment of […]
Cam's Eye Review: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 (2014)
SYNOPSIS: It’s great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there’s no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: OsCorp. REVIEW: First off, when I normally review a film it’s based on three things: entertainment value, how the story narrative flows, and how visual it looks overall. After viewing The Amazing Spider-Man 2 with this in mind, I’m left much like a Chinese meal I consume: after an hour I wanted more. And with this […]
