After shelling out gory chills and suspenseful thrills for his Western transition in The Midnight Meattrain, No One Lives, Downrange and in a segment in Nightmare Cinema, it’s refreshing to see Japanese cult favorite Ryuhei Kitamura return to a lively action setup.
This time, he’s got Lionsgate now readying to release The Doorman, starring Ruby Rose and Jean Reno, and apart from throwing down in both John Wick and xXx franchises, the action here ought to be a treat for fans who’ve recently checked Rose out in the CW’s Batwoman before she left the series back in May.
In this punishing action-thriller starring Ruby Rose (JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2), a former Marine turned doorman at a luxury New York City high-rise must outsmart and battle a group of art thieves and their ruthless leader (Jean Reno, LÉON: THE PROFESSIONAL) — while struggling to protect her sister’s family. As the thieves become increasingly desperate and violent, the doorman calls upon her deadly fighting skills to end the showdown.
She’s joined by Louis Mandylor and Askel Hennie, with Rupert Evans, David Sakurai, and Hideaki Ito for the film’s On-Demand release from October 9, and on Blu-Ray and Digital from October 13.
