An Asian man kneels ready to attack in Karoshi

New worlds ae always being build but those new worlds have old sins. We have the first official UK Trailer for sci-fi action thriller Karōshi .

If you are looking for some more John Wick action, Takashi Doscher‘s film might deliver you those kicks you desire. Genre filmmaker Chad Stahelski is onboard as a producer, you can expect those Wick style ass kickings. There looks to be a big slice of The Raid from the trailer and a one man man army taking on a mysterious mega corporation. The question many will ask, will our film’s hero (or Hiro as he’s called) get his revenge?

Karōshi stars Korean actor Teo Yoo (Past Lives) and we find ourselves in near future in Manhattan, New York. A mysterious stranger penetrates a mega corporation after a death he exposes an hidden violent system.

The film also  stars  Isabel May, Takehiro Hira, Bill Camp, Show Kasamatsu, with Giancarlo Esposito, and Cynthia Erivo.
