Cops and Robbers stars Michael Jai White as a hostage negotiator who plays a high stakes game of cat and mouse with a cornered bank robber. As the two men learn each other’s identity, they realise they have a shared past, as estranged brothers do, with scores and grudges to be settled…
Can Micheal Jai White ever get a break? The man had obvious skills, both in acting and martial arts, which we’ve seen in a myriad of his previous films. However lately he seems to have become stuck in a rut of appearing own small cameo roles in films or playing cop roles that don’t show off his skillset. Even when he does get to kick some ass his performance seems stifled.

Billy (Ronnie Gene Blevins) isn't really ready for parole, the panel agrees. Remorseful though he is, he doesn't seem to have fully understood the impact of the crime he committed; he's still at risk of responding to stressful situations with violence. He's allowed out of prison purely on compassionate grounds, because his mother (Lara Flynn Boyle) is dying of liver failure. She hasn't told him, hasn't wanted to worry him. She has only a few months left. It's highly unlikely that a compatible liver will turn up in that time, her doctor says. But if Billy were not concerned about ethics, and had a lot of money, he does know a doctor across the border in Ciudad Juárez...
There are a host of good performances in Scott Windhauser's earnest thriller, but the story and dialogue are so ridiculous that the stars really have their work cut out for them.

"Where is my money? You're not gonna get far... 'cause I will hunt you down." Vertical Entertainment has debuted an official trailer for Death in Texas, a new crime thriller from filmmaker Scott Windhauser. This hasn't premiered at any fests, and will drop on VOD this June.

We’ve got another zombie movie coming out called Dead Trigger, but what makes this one different from all the others is the fact that it stars Dolph Lundgren!
It’s been great seeing Lundgren appear in some recent mainstream movies, but it’s still always fun to see stars in these smaller, lower budget projects. In this one we get to see him blow away zombies. Here’s the synopsis for Dead Trigger:
A mysterious virus has killed billions and turned many others into bloodthirsty zombies. Unable to stop the virus, the government develops a video game, "Dead Trigger," that mirrors the terrifying events that curse the world.
Dead Trigger was co-directed by Mike Cuff and Scott Windhauser (Cops and Robbers). While this doesn’t look like it’s going to be a good movie, it still will probably be fun to watch.
The movie will be released on May 3rd.

Rob Cohen directed the first “Fast and the Furious” and “xXx” films, and hopes his perilous-weather thriller “The Hurricane Heist” leaves action fans clamoring for sequels. Distributed by Entertainment Studios and set in Alabama, the story follows a meteorologist (Toby Kebbell) intent on rescuing his brother (Ryan Kwanten) from a incoming superstorm, similar to the one that killed their father when they were kids. Yet a band of thieves eagerly awaits the squall, a diversion so they can lift $600 million from a U.S. mint and a treasury agent (Maggie Grace).
Critics genuinely complimented the “gleefully stupid” premise and building “idiocy,” along with the self-awareness screenwriters Jeff Dixon and Scott Windhauser supplied their characters. Also cited were editing gaffes, the actors’ wretched accents, and the too-low camp factor.
