Any time there’s news about a Scott Adkins movie, that’s a big
day for me. He’s one of the premiere cinematic badasses currently working
anywhere in the world, and he’s responsible for some of the best gritty, old
school actioners of the last few years. When he teams with director Isaac
Florentine, that’s even better, as the two have teamed up on such modern
classics as Ninja 2: Shadow of a Tear and
Undisputed 3. Now they’re back with Close
Range, and you can check out a brand new trailer after the jump.
There is certainly a level of cheesiness to be found here in
the dialogue, more inline with older DTV actioners than Florentine’s usual
output, but the action is totally awesome, and features Adkins climbing up
walls, thrashing countless goons, and kicking (maybe scuttling over) a moving
truck. I’m 100% in.
The story follows Adkins, who plays a rogue soldier turned
outlaw, who tussles with corrupt sheriffs, a ruthless Mexican cartel, and more
to keep his sister and daughter safe. Again, I could not be more on board.
There’s no release date for Close Range
just yet, but it should drop sometime this year. In the meantime, check out the
first teaser trailer released earlier this year below. It’s mostly just Adkins
tearing dudes apart, which is all I really want out of a movie.
