A trailer for a crime thriller called "Run and Gun" (Run & Gun), which is interesting to us due to the participation in the project of a martial artist and cult hero of action films of the 90s Mark Dacascos.
In general, we have already mentioned this film, but then it was called "Ray". The director and screenwriter are at the helm of the project Christopher Borelli (The Marine 2, The Cursed Forest).
Synopsis: After leaving a life of crime and violence, Ray transforms into a good guy who enjoys a quiet family life in the suburbs. But when his past is revealed, Ray is blackmailed into taking on one last job. A simple mission to retrieve a mysterious package turns into a mission of survival, because now ruthless killers are hunting for him.
The main role in the action movie went to Ben Milliken (“Musicians Together Again”), and the rest of the cast, in addition to Mark Dacascos (“Drive”, “The Crying Killer”, “John Wick 3”) are: Brad William Henke ("The Thirteenth Floor") Janel Parrish (TV series “Heroes”), Angela Sarafyan (TV series "Westworld") Richard Kind (“Operation Argo”) and others.
The trailer reminded us of the 2019 thriller "Killer on Call", but we hope that Dacascos, unlike that film, in "Run and Gun" the role is much greater.
The film will premiere in online cinemas and Video on Demand services January 11 2022 years, and the action movie will be released on DVD 25 January.
The second action movie in our selection of trailers today is the next project of the 54-year-old martial artist and actor Michael Jai White.
About the film with a simple title "Commando" (The Commando) us too wrote. Let us remind you that the director and one of the screenwriters of the film is Asif Akbar, which was previously noted for its fantastic action movie "Astro" starring Gary Daniels.
Akbar's new film will revolve around elite narcotics agent James Baker, who returns home after a failed mission that became a traumatic experience for him. However, Baker and his family will encounter a recently released criminal and his people, who once buried a stash of $3 million in the protagonist's future home.
According Michael Jai White (“Tyson”, “Undisputed 2”, “Triple Threat”) the main role was secured, and the main villain was embodied on the screen Mickey Rourke (“Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man,” “Sin City”). The rest of the caste includes: Jeff Fahey ("Grindhouse") Brendan Fehr ("Destination"), Gianni Capaldi (“Astro”) and others.
It is curious that a veteran was responsible for the local action, stuntmen and fight choreography Philip Tan ("I Spy", "Free Fall") and well established in Hollywood Kieran Gallagher (TV series “Banshee”, “Novichok”).
Company Saban Films will release the film in limited release and VoD services January 7 2022 years.
Let's finish the selection with a Russian project - a boxing drama "Mr. Knockout" director Artem Mikhalkova (“Moscow, I love you!”, “Bet on Love”), who is the son Nikita Mikhalkov.
Synopsis: the story of the life and adventures of the legendary Soviet boxer Valery Popenchenko, champion of the USSR, Europe and winner of the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo - about his childhood in the Suvorov Military School in Tashkent, about his service as a border guard cadet, about his first successes and failures, and about his friendship with the coach of the Dynamo sports society Grigory Kusikyants. The story is that in any, even the most prestigious fight, the main thing for an athlete is to overcome himself, his fears and weaknesses, and only then will it be possible to win a real victory.
The canonical on-screen duet of a fighter and his trainer went to Victor Khorinyak (TV series "Kitchen", franchise "The Last Hero") and Sergei Bezrukov (“Brigade”, “Match”), and the rest of the acting ensemble includes: Inga Oboldina (“From Sorrow to Joy”), Evdokia Lavrukhina ("Fire"), Denis Konyachenko (“Archipelago”) and others.
Cinema premiere "Mr. Knockout" assigned to 23 February 2022 year.

Let's hope for some decent hand-to-hand and bloody action.
The game is cool. I hope the series will be no worse.
