Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This marks the fourth collaboration between Frank Grillo and director Christian Sesma, who basically built a whole career on Grillo glowering in parking lots.
Scott Adkins built his entire reputation on direct-to-video action—his presence here signals exactly what kind of unpretentious ass-kicking you're in for.
