About the film
Two Criminals. One Chance. No Way Out.
What it’s about
In a future where parole has been replaced by the Recidivism Accountability Partnership Program, a white-collar ex-con is released only on condition that his life is tied to a sociopathic gangster with terminal cancer. Explosive charges are surgically implanted in both men's hearts, and any wrong move by one triggers the summary execution of both.
What hooks you
Director Luke Spears, who also produces, brings together Alexander Aguirre as Sean and Jason Arcaro as a shipping yard manager in this 84-minute thriller. The premise of two mismatched men forced into a lethal partnership drives the tension.
Who it’s for
It is worth a look for anyone who enjoys dystopian action thrillers with a high-stakes premise, where survival depends on an uneasy alliance between opposites.
