Now On Netflix: I AM VENGEANCE: RETALIATION, Stu Bennett Returns Muscled-Up, Guns Blazing In Ross Boyask’s Latest, Effortless Service To Action Fans

At the start of what feels like the continuation of a proper B-level action franchise, director Ross Boyask does away with any serious inferences in his latest, I Am Vengeance: Retaliation. Actor Stu Bennett reprising his role as ex-soldier-turned-mercenary John Gold, paves the way for just the kind of throwback action hero for genre fanboys of the eighties and nineties and older, top-lined by a cast that’s more than ready to deliver the goods no matter how perpetual some of the absurdities are at times. Almost immediately after laying waste to a nightclub full of baddies, Gold is confronted by handler, Frost, with a job our hero is more than reluctant to take, until he learns of the involvement of former comrade-at-arms, Teague, once thought to be dead and now back on radar as a major player of the criminal underworld, with all the intel one could need to bring […]

DEAD END: DEAD MAN WALKING Review: It’s All About Family

As far as formats go, the current shortfilm trilogy laid out in actor Bryan Larkin‘s Dead End slate easily bodes as a viable proof of concept in different directions. The idea had always been a feature film, though current market evolution with such new age brands like snackable content platform, Quibi, certainly provides options for content creators if the viability proves sustainable going forward. At twenty-minutes plus, each short exudes taut, contained intensity in story, action and drama, all in skillset that filmmaker Ross Boyask continues to apply to his craft for the latest of the shortfilm series, Dead End: Dead Man Walking. The globetrotting story that centers on Larkin in the role of grisled, tough and cunning Contractor keeps the pace going, following the events of the previous installment that now find him at an impasse with his handler (Rebecca Yeo). Bodies are mysteriously turning up in a series […]

DEAD END III: DEAD MAN WALKING Explores A Killer’s Past And Present In The First Teaser

There’s no telling what will come of actor Bryan Larkin‘s plans for a feature film iteration of his latest shortform series investment, Dead End. All I can say is that he’s proven himself amply in the last few years between appearances in Vengeance and Chasing The Dragon, and all to deliver a globetrotting espionage drama that thrills with introspective mystique, action and style. That effort continues into the new year with Dead End III: Dead Man Walking, signaled finally in the last twenty four hours by a new trilogy highlight teaser. Larkin is joined by returning actor Julian Gaertner and newly added Tony Greengrass with director Ross Boyask (Warrioress) at the helm continuing the gritty saga centered on two vigilante contract killers. I’m told this particular endeavor will be more of a contained, retrospective thriller that flashes back to the first two installments from Carter Ferguson and Larkin who directed […]

Screener Review: WARRIORESS (2014)

SYNOPSIS: Two powerful female warriors must journey across a post-apocalyptic land to fight a ritual duel, and fulfill an ancient prophecy.  In the tradition of “Xena, Warrior Princess”, and influenced by seminal fantasy films such as “Excalibur” and “Flesh & Blood”, Warrioress combines a unique, mystically-infused atmosphere with blistering action scenes. The story features a wide array of vibrantly attractive and powerful female characters pitted against each other in mortal combat.
