Action Trailers: The Commuter/Re:Born

Here are a pair of trailers for upcoming action/thrillers.

First, Re:Born, where ‘a legendary soldier with a mysterious past decides to unleash his inner beast to stand up for what he cares about.’

RE:BORN marks the comeback of Tak Sakaguchi (Versus, Alive, Shinobi:Heart Under Blade), often described as one of the most under-rated actors in the action movie scene, and this film highlights him at his very best. Director Yuji Shimomura (Flash Point, Warriors Way, Gantz:Perfect Wars) teamed up with fight choreographyer Yoshitaka Inagawa, a former close combat instructor for U.S. Special Forces and other international commando units. The film showcases Inugawa’s Zero Range Combat System – a technique focused around extremely quick and efficient movements at close range.

RE:BORN is set to screen at festivals in the UK & Ireland, ahead of a home video release in early 2018.

Second, Liam Neeson is back for another tense thriller on a mode of transport.

In this action-packed thriller, Liam Neeson plays an insurance salesman, Michael, on his daily commute home, which quickly becomes anything but routine. After being contacted by a mysterious stranger, Michael is forced to uncover the identity of a hidden passenger on his train before the last stop. As he works against the clock to solve the puzzle, he realizes a deadly plan is unfolding and is unwittingly caught up in a criminal conspiracy. One that carries life and death stakes for himself and his fellow passengers.

Also, speaking with Sky News at the Toronto International Film Festival, he says he’s ready to say quit the action movie business anytime now:

“They’re still throwing serious money at me to do that stuff. I’m like: ‘Guy’s I’m sixty-f–king-five.’ Audiences are eventually going to go: ‘Come on.’”
