It would appear Chris Pine and Ben Foster couldn’t get enough of each other after starring together in ‘Hell or High Water’. The acting duo are set to reunite on ‘Violence of Action’.
The story will follow James Reed (Pine), a Green Beret who was voluntary discharged, as he joins a paramilitary organization in order to support his family in the only way he knows how. Reed travels to Poland with his elite team on a black ops mission to investigate a mysterious threat. Barely into his first assignment, Reed finds himself alone and hunted in Eastern Europe, where he must fight to stay alive long enough to get home and uncover the true motives of those who betrayed him.
‘Community’ actress Gillian Jacobs has also joined the cast.
Tarik Saleh (The Nile Hilton Incident) is directing from a script by J.P. Davis. ‘John Wick’ outfit Thunder Road Films produces with finance from 30WEST.
