Watch UK Trailer For Action Thriller Gunner

Vertigo Releasing have released the UK Trailer for indie action crime thriller Gunner starring Luke Hemsworth and Morgan Freeman.

Gunner is directed by Dimitri Logothetis (Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxer: Retaliation). It’s about a ruthless drug traffickers kidnap his children, ex-special forces operative Lee Gunner embarks on a violent life-or-death mission. With his unique skills and nothing to lose, he’ll take on an army to bring his family home.

The plot and set up for this one has been done a million times before. Just shocked to see an actor with the stature like Morgan Freeman wanting to appear in this?! Sorry this is generic and predictable.

War veteran Colonel Lee Gunner (Hemsworth) takes his two sons on a camping trip with their uncle Jon, to reconnect with them after being at the battle front for so long. The trip goes awry when Jon stumbles over a tripwire and sets off an explosion, alerting a gang of violent bikers in the midst of a massive drug operation. Not anticipating Gunner’s elite combat skills, the gang members are taken out one by one. The boys try to go for help, but end up right in the arms of Dobbs, the son of kingpin Kendric Ryker (Freeman) who runs the organization from prison. With no one but himself to turn to, an enraged Gunner wreaks havoc to rescue his two sons, until he gets to the top and confronts Ryker. You don’t cross Gunner.

The film also stars Mykel Shannon Jenkins, Yulia Klass, Grant Feely, Connor DeWolfe, Barry Jay Minoff, Joseph Baena, Sean Rogers, Gary Wood, and Maurice P. Kerry. Gunner will be released on Digital Download and to rent from 9th December in the UK and Ireland.
