Castle Falls (2021)

Staggeringly suspenseful old-school action thriller starring martial arts maestro Scott Adkins, alongside icon of the genre, Dolph Lundgren, who also directs.

On dangerous ground, Mike makes a friend George (Vas Snachez) who together make the best of their rough job preparing the building for kaboom.

Dolph as an officer of rank at the local prison Richard Ericson, who is subjected to an offer by an inmate regarding hidden loot inside the soon to be destroyed hospital.

This proposition has come at an appropriate time whilst low in funds, as his daughter Emily, is in need of urgent chemotherapy.

During routine sledgehammering, Mike discovers the money within a wall. Meanwhile, a rival gang, related to a nasty king pin prisoner on the inside move in to claim the money, as well as Richard deciding to risk his reputation, to also find the money.

It’s a three-way cash heist on a time limit before the building becomes rubble Infront of an audience including the local mayor. It’s all happening, hectic, fun entertainment.
