Screener Review: THE NIGHTCREW (2015)

REVIEW: Director Christian Sesma is a filmmaker with a huge vision for action whilst working as optimally as possible with smaller budgets. Tonally, there’s a level of intensity that normally comes with a Sesma film, particularly when left unhindered, and much to our delight, we get to see a product fully into itself with his most recent action horror, The Nightcrew. Luke Goss leads the film as Wade, the leader of a team of hard-up bounty hunters who swoop in and recover Mei, a mysterious Chinese woman just as she’s about to be kidnapped. Little do they know, she turns out to be more than she appears as the team gets cornered in the middle of the midwestern desert at night by an army of hitmen at the behest of Mexican crimeboss, Aguilar, who has plans of his own for Mei. The film was written by Sesma and co-star and […]

The unyielding creative film duo that are co-scribes, director Christian Sesma and actor Paul Sloan are starting off the new year just right with their latest pairing for the upcoming action thriller, The Nightcrew. Actor and debut filmmaker as of recent, Luke Goss, leads the cast with Sloan in a story about a team of hard-up bounty hunters who apprehend a mysterious Chinese woman trying to cross the border, only to discover her deadly secrets as they fight to survive the night in a desert motel against a horde of border runners.

Luke Goss Takes The Lead In His Directorial Debut, YOUR MOVE

Lee B. Golden III

Actor Luke Goss‘s recent films haven’t garnered the attention of mainstream Hollywood following his earlier stints in hits like Blade 2, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army and The Man, but he’s made a ton of direct-to-DVD flicks catered specifically to the action niche since then. This week, the Death Race 2 and 3 actor is now switching gears and multitasking on both ends of the camera for his latest upcoming revenge thriller, Your Move, signaling the film’s commencement about a week ago on his official Facebook page. Triumphant Pictures CEO Cecil Chambers announced the project back in February with Goss set to take the lead as David Miller, a successful New York businessman who goes above and beyond the law to rescue his wife and child in Mexico after witnessing their brutal attack and kidnapping. Actors Robert Davi (The Expendables 3) and Luis Gatica (Misfire), along with actress Patricia De Leon […]

Director Christian Sesma (left) and actor Jason Mewes (right) on the set of VIGILANTE DIARIES: THE SERIES (2013) Moving away from the habitual cycle of comic book and video game adaptations in film these days, independent filmmaker Christian Sesma and actor Paul Sloan are proof positive that original storytelling can still pave the way for something massively incredible. And as of late, their prospects in this regard are about to take shape with their new stylish action thriller, Vigilante Diaries: The Movie, a film that once saw its day as a Chill.com exclusive webseries with Sloan joined by actor Jason Mewes (Clerks, Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back). The series unfortunately faded after its two-episode premiere and a lot of time did pass since then with Sloan and Sesma keeping busy with other projects. However, some new and peculiar-looking photos in Sesma‘s Instagram account landed in my sights and drew […]
