Director Anthony Nardolillo’s new film, Righteous Thieves, comes with a great premise to get things going for a worthy story of revenge and redemption. Pre-empting our tale are flashbacks leading up to the moment where Anabelle (Lisa Vidal) makes her entrance into the halls of the Syndicate, a group dedicated to securing and preserving artwork stolen by the Nazis in World War II. Despite failing a previous mission, Anabelle remains adherent to the promise she made to the late Holocaust survivor who once took her in, and with her eye on at least four paintings currently in the possession of a ruthless Nazi art hoarder named Otto (Brian Cousins), Anabelle gathers a team of familiars once more with the help of longtime partner, Eddie (Carlos Miranda).
Director Jalmari Helander and actor Jorma Tommilla have been a boon together in spotlighting prospective cinema out of Finland with titles like 2010’s Rare Exports and Samuel L. Jackson 2014 co-starrer Big Game, both featuring Tommilla’s son, Onni, whose own career has since expanded with several other directors and projects in the past decade. The trio eventually got back together and welp… they did it again, this time with the wintery survival actioner, Sisu which had its premiere in Toronto last September and at Sitges the following month. With its official local release in January, other territories may follow suit, just as Lionsgate has with its official trailer debut on Tuesday which you can view below.

The gallery also includes a final reveal of actor Scott Adkins in the role of “Killa” after weeks of keeping his character under wraps in which now he can be seen in what looks like a prosthetic fatsuit. This ought to be interesting.
Reviews are mixed following early screenings of Guy Ritchie’s newest venture, Operation Fortune, which has since suffered a long stalemate when its release through STX was kiboshed early last year. Say what you may of the reasons now that we’re a year later, but the film is now in the hands of Lionsgate for its stateside release, and on top of Ritchie’s pairing with leading man of action Jason Statham once more and an ensemble cast therein, the addition of the phenomenal Aubrey Plaza feels like the ultimate sweetener of a long-awaited deal.
