Stars: Vinne Jones, James Clayton, Lina Lecompte, Danny Mac | Written by Cooper Bibaud, Danny Mac | Directed by James Clayton
I’m not quite sure which is the least imaginative, calling an action film Death Pursuit or casting Vinne Jones as a psychotically violent criminal. James Clayton went with both in his directorial debut and that should have sent up more red flags than a text message from an ex.
Death Pursuit opens in a scrapyard as some goons are executing what I presume are rival goons. While they’re doing that The Thief slips in and helps himself to stacks of cash that are just sitting there unguarded. His exit is a little more complicated and he ends up fleeing in a car that has Mia the pregnant wife of Temple (Vinnie Jones) the man he just ripped off, hidden in the trunk.

Stars: Scott Adkins, Dolph Lundgren, Ida Lundgren, Scott Hunter, Kim DeLonghi, Jim E. Chandler, Dave Halls, | Written by Andrew Knauer | Directed by Dolph Lundgren
Castle Falls marks Dolph Lundgren’s first film as a director since he shot Icarus in 2010. It’s also his fifth teaming with co-star Scott Adkins. Toss in a plot that sounds slightly reminiscent of Walter Hill’s underrated 1992 film Trespass and you have a film with a lot of potential. The question is, can it live up to them?
Mike Wade is down on his luck. His career as a fighter is over, he can’t even make the cut for a local Mma event and he’s been evicted from his apartment. Now he’s living in his truck and working as a labourer on the demolition of Castle Heights Hospital. And then his luck turns around, he finds several bags full of money hidden in the abandoned building.

Stars: Phil Molloy, Jonathan Hansler, Chris Bell, Jacob Anderton, Sylvia Robson | Written and Directed by Steve Lawson
Ripper Untold is writer/director Steve Lawson’s fourth consecutive film with a historical setting after Bram Stoker’s Van Helsing, Saltwater: The Battle for Ramree Island and The Haunting of Alcatraz. And like them, it was filmed on a very limited budget. Can Lawson manage to make it work this time and not end up with another boring talkfest?
Whitechapel 1888. The body of a young woman is found, her throat slashed and body mutilated. Inspector Rees (Phil Molloy; Outlawed) goes to work trying to track down the killer. He’s aided by the coroner, Thomas Locque, a man who’s battling his own demons. And who seems to have known the victim, and several of her fellow working girls.
As the bodies begin to pile up so do the suspects. Apart from Locque,...

The 2Nd

It hasn’t taken long for writer/director Ross Boyask to follow up 2018’s Vengeance (aka I Am Vengeance) with a sequel, probably because that film struck a massive chord with genre fans across the globe – respecting the action genre’s vast, and may I say beloved, past, whilst delivering a modern take on the traditional Dtv action film; and, of course, featuring Stu Bennett in a compelling lead role. I’m guessing that the fact Bennett was on UK screens as part of World of Sport wrestling And had a huge name presence thanks to his former WWE career didn’t hurt either.

Ok, a quick show of hands: How many of you actually knew there was a movie titled “I Am Vengeance” released in 2018? Wow, that many? Well, that’s probably why we now have a sequel, “I Am Vengeance: Retaliation,” even though it isn’t likely to reach beyond the niche audience of undiscriminating action fans who eagerly viewed its predecessor on digital and home video platforms.
Much like the original 2018 opus, “Retaliation” plays like a throwback to the era when similar low-budget fare routinely strained shelves at Blockbuster outlets, and provided gainful employment for such cult faves as Jeff Speakman, Gary Busey, Cynthia Rothrock and direct-to-video icon Wings Hauser. Here, the main attraction is Stu Bennett (aka WWE wrestler Wade Barrett), a taciturn tough customer who once again inhabits the lead role of John Gold, a British special forces soldier turned freelance mercenary turned self-employed vengeance seeker.

"You're a traitor, you're a murderer." Saban Films has unveiled an official trailer for the action movie I Am Vengeance: Retaliation, a sequel to the action movie I Am Vengeance from 2018. Former special-forces soldier John Gold is given the opportunity to bring Sean Teague - the man who betrayed his team on their final mission in Eastern Europe several years ago - to justice. Gold would cheerfully see Teague dead, but he is convinced to help transport him to a military prison to pay for his crimes. Along the way, Gold will have to fight off Teague's team trying to extract him. Starring Stu Bennett and Vinnie Jones, plus Lee Charles, Katrina Durden, Joe Egan, Josh Myers, & Bentley Kalu. Yet another dime-a-dozen bland action flick.

Snatch star Vinnie Jones is set to star in the sequel to action thriller Vengeance alongside former WWE wrestler Stu Bennett.
Former professional soccer player Jones, who recently starred in ABC magic crime drama Deception, will play lead villain Sean Teague, a former elite special-forces operator turned rogue mercenary.
In the sequel, Teague is being chased by former special-forces soldier John Gold, played by Bennett, who recently hosted Netflix reality series Ultimate Beastmaster, after betraying the latter’s team on their final mission in Eastern Europe. Gold must fight off Teague’s team who are attempting to extract him, as well as a sniper seemingly hell-bent on killing Teague before he can be secured.
The original film was released theatrically earlier this month, as I Am Vengeance, through Saban Films and Lionsgate and will be released in the UK next month via Evolutionary Films. Ross Boyask is again writing and...
