“Why are you here?” “Revenge.” What a line. XYZ Films has revealed an official trailer for an action movie called Hounds of War, a new movie from the action director Isaac Florentine. This one will be released on VOD directly starting in September. Hounds of War about the best military mercenaries money can buy. Known as “The Hounds”, they are sent on a final mission by their creator: a carefully planned trap set up to destroy them. So another “trap” movie to play against M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap? Sure why not. Hounds of War stars Rhona Mitra, Robert Patrick, and Frank Grillo, with Steven Elder, Yvonne Mai, Joey Ansah, Lee Charles, and Mark Strange. Looks like it was filmed mostly on Malta, which is an infamous tax haven and a nice place to save money making a movie, even though it’s not the most exciting place to shoot something this generic & derivative. It’s like The Expendables meets John Wick, yet looks even worse.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Isaac Florentine’s film Hounds of War, direct from YouTube:
The team of mercenaries discovers that the mission they’re on is actually a carefully planned trap set up to destroy them. This means that, if they manage to survive the threat, they’ll have a lot of doors to knock on and discover who set them up. Only one of a group of mercenaries on the mission is left alive to avenge his brothers Hounds of War is directed by Israeli B-movie filmmaker Isaac Florentine, of all kinds of cheesy action movies including Desert Kickboxer, High Voltage, Bridge of Dragons, Ninja, Assassin’s Bullet, the Undisputed trilogy, Ninja: Shadow of a Tear, Close Range, Acts of Vengeance, and Seized previously. The screenplay is written by Jean Pierre Magro. Produced by Aaron Briffa, Vladimir Chistiakov, Vadim Fortunin, Jean Pierre Magro, Alexey Meets, and Andre Relis. XYZ Films will Isaac Florentine’s Hounds of War movie direct-to-VOD starting on September 6th, 2024 coming soon this fall. Anyone want to watch this movie?
