‘Assassin’ Trailer Promises Non-Stop ‘John Wick’-Style Action

The film Assassin blends the hard-hitting action of movies like John Wick and The Raid with the stylish thrills of Kingsman and Kung Fu Hustle, but sets it all in the 1930s. It follows a reformed gangster on a deadly mission who quickly finds himself caught in a revolution. At just 90 minutes long, Assassin delivers non-stop, exciting action – think knife fights, bullet dodging, and incredible martial arts – and should please fans of all the films that inspired it, with a unique historical setting.

Prime Video’s Reacher Replacement Has One Big Disadvantage

With 30 books already written, the Reacher series offers plenty of stories for the show to adapt in future seasons. But Reacher isn’t the only long-running book series getting the TV treatment. Prime Video is also preparing a thriller called Scarpetta, based on the popular novels by Patricia Cornwell, and bringing her famous character to the screen for the very first time.

‘Protector’ Debuts to Brutal Score on Rotten Tomatoes

Milla Jovovich leads the cast of this action thriller, alongside D.B. Sweeney, Don Harvey, Arica Himmel, and Michael Stahl-David. The film is directed by Adrian Grünberg and written by Bong-Seob Mun. Since the release of Taken in 2008, that movie has heavily influenced the action thriller genre, inspiring many stories about parents rescuing their children and popularizing the ‘tough, older hero’ trope. While this film doesn’t fully fit into that ‘older hero’ category (though Milla Jovovich is approaching the age Liam Neeson was in the first Taken), it definitely follows the tradition of parents taking action to protect their kids, and Jovovich is a strong contender for the title of ‘best action hero parent’.
