Redbox Entertainment Sept. 17 announced it has acquired U.S. distribution rights to the action-thriller Vendetta. Written and directed by Jared Cohn (The Horde), Vendetta stars Bruce Willis, Clive Standen (Taken), Thomas Jane (The Last Son), Theo Rossi (Army of the Dead) and Mike Tyson (The Hangover). The film will premiere in 2022 and is expected to have a limited theatrical run and be available day-and-date on digital platforms.
When his daughter is murdered, William Duncan (Standen) takes the law into his own hands, setting out on a quest for retribution. After killing the street thug responsible for her death, he finds himself in the middle of a war with the thug’s brother (Rossi), father (Willis), and their gang, who are equally hell-bent on getting even. What ensues is a tense back-and-forth game of vengeance. By the end, William comes to find that the quest for revenge never has a winner.
