There’s So Much New Footage In The U.S. Trailer For HEADSHOT…You’ve Been Warned!
With March 3 already set for the release of X-Men spin-off Wolverine finale, Logan, hardcore R-rated moviegoing types are now more than welcome to set the date for a double feature if they so choose, specifically for those who’ve been pining for the release of Iko Uwais headliner, Headshot from Vertical Entertainment and XYZ Films.
To be frank though, their latest trailer is out and I myself have all but avoided seeing any more new footage until now, and I feel like I’ve utterly failed and spoiled myself to no end. I might just go and down a whole two liter bottle of Pepsi and fuck my kidneys up to finish myself off because this is awful… not the movie judging by Alex Chung’s awesome review among others, of course, but me breaking my own abstinence here…
Ugh.
SYNOPSIS:
HEADSHOT centers on a mysterious young man who, after months in a coma from a gunshot wound to the head, is nursed back to health by a young student-doctor, Ailin. Realizing that the man has lost his memory and identity, the two quickly grow closer, not realizing that behind their momentary peace lays danger. Soon their lives collide with a gang of dangerous criminals led by an enigmatic crime lord—and with every violent confrontation, his memory brings him closer to a dark truth as the lethal personality awakening within him starts to reveal who he really is.
Avoid the trailer if the earlier footage already has you sold. Otherwise, share my misery and see it below at your own peril. I’ll still see the film, for sure, but I honestly didn’t need to see so much new shit here…
Yes, I’m mad.
Killers helmers Timo Tjahjanto and Kimo Stamboel direct with Uwais joined by Chelsea Islan, Julie Estelle and Sunny Pang.
Enjoy!
The Final Trailer For HEADSHOT Relishes In Brooding And Brutality
I’m already sold on the new Mo Bros thriller, Headshot, going into the new year. Nonetheless, the film is out now in Indonesia, accompanied by a third, final trailer to help pull in the masses. I love the marketing push for this kind of film and I certainly hope we will see more martial arts films step up to the plate in the same fashion.
Iko Uwais stars as a wounded amnesiac forced to reckon with his past when the life of the nurse who kept him in her care hangs in the balance. Also starring are the beautiful and talented Chelsea Islan and Julie Estelle, and Singaporean action star, actor Sunny Pang. Release dates for other territories remain pending.

I won’t go too much into detail about the fights as they are better left for you to watch unfold. All I will say is… police station. What a scene. Generally, there are some lengthy takes displaying unbroken choreography with some frenetic handheld work without going overboard. There’s also great use of props and the environment which adds to some creative brutality. One character in particular makes the most memorable use of a police baton since S.P.L. (a.k.a. Kill Zone).
HEADSHOT Goes For The Kill In The Brutal New Teaser Ahead Of Its TIFF Premiere!
The film finds Uwais playing a nameless man who wakes up in a hospital with severe head trauma, not knowing who he is or what happened to him. Assisted by a student doctor Ailin (Chelsea Islan), who nicknames him “Ishmael” after the character in Moby Dick, he recovers and tries to regain his memory. But Ishmael’s past catches up to him, in the form of Lee (Sunny Pang), a drug lord and gang boss whose tentacles reach deep into the police and the penal system. When Ailin is kidnapped and Ishmael sets out to get her back, he finds himself pitted against an array of skilled fighters who may have been his former colleagues.
TIFF 2016: Mo Bros’ HEADSHOT Lands A Killer New Poster
If you’ve been pressing your finger on the pulse between fan blogs since earlier this year, chances are that you might have caught a blurred glimpse of the first poster for the new Mo Brothers-directed thriller, Headshot. Well, we are only days away from the film’s premiere heralding the return of action star, actor Iko Uwais, and with him, the acclaim so rightly deserved by Indonesian cinema for its accomplishments in the action genre as of late.
Thus, the Toronto International Film Festival will be where the movie makes its first stop with Uwais leading along with actress Chelsea Islan, Julie Estelle and Sunny Pang among the cast for a gritty, brutal tale of vengeance and redemption for a mysterious man forced to confront his past following a brutal head injury. The film has since finally landed a pristine, high quality version of the aforementioned poster ahead of its TIFF premiere, and you can now take a look below courtesy of ScreenAnarchy.
