I am definitely in favor of Henry Rollins being cast in a stereo typical tough guy movie. To put him at the center of a story about a social outcast who spends his time being menacing and gruff seems as natural as breathing.
Whether or not I think the world needs another macho revenge fantasy movie is a separate issue. If it hits the sweet spot of grimy energy, crisp pace and “whoa-dude” nastiness it should find an audience the same place Boondock Saints did once upon a time. I plan to see it because it’s the role Henry Rollins was born to play and I’m holding out hope the film will make use of his personality as much as it does his brawny menace.
Just nobody watch the trailer. If this kind of movie appeals to you you already know it. The trailer released for this film gives away a huge central plot point. It’s the worst kind of inept advertising plot spoiler. It’ll be on iTunes video beginning Dec. 18th. If you get a chuckle out of absurd grim faced action movies watch the movie but avoid the trailer.
