Steven Seagal Thriller, ATTRITION, Gets A Full Trailer

It’s no easy feat to accomodate actor Steven Seagal given recent headlines pertaining to his career of yestertear and certain allegations that have gone public earlier this year.

Lee B. Golden III

Previously known as The Borderland, writer and director Matthew Weschler‘s latest action thriller has since taken on new life with the title, Covert Operation, for North American distribution under Lionsgate/Grindstone. As such, a new poster was also unveiled last month – a bit on the generic side, but we also have a full trailer that keeps things much more promising, featuring lead actor and five time karate champion Seydina Balde in a role that is sure to please the average action fan’s eye. SYNOPSIS: Gabriel, a bounty hunter trapped in Asia, is promised his freedom in return for one final rescue mission.

Lee B. Golden III

You are forgiven if you’ve completely forgotten about writer and director Mathieu Weschler‘s latest international action thriller, The Borderland. A trailer debuted back in March of last year billing actor, stuntman and five-time former Karate champion Seydina Baldè (Unleashed a.k.a. Danny The Dog, Punisher: War Zone) in the role of Gabriel, a bounty hunter caught in the throes of North Korean captivity and forced to fight his way out after a rescue mission gone awry. An exciting premise? Indeed, but the film disappeared off the radar and nothing was seen or heard from publicly ever since, although it is reasonable to believe that the film was busy making the festival rounds in search of buyers. Well, the film is now breathing a sign of life once again with a sizzling new trailer for the film’s U.K. release on August 18 courtesy of Signature Entertainment. Further release dates are pending, with […]
