Movie Description
This double-pack contains to star-studded thrillers guaranteed to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.


UNLEASHED: Martial arts superstar Jet Li re-teams with French writer-director Luc Besson (KISS OF THE DRAGON) in this psychological action film shot in Glasgow, Scotland. Li stars as Danny, a human attack dog for a powerful mobster he calls Uncle Bart (Bob Hoskins). When a turf war ends up in bloody carnage, Danny escapes and is taken in by a kind family consisting of blind piano tuner Sam (Morgan Freeman) and his teenage stepdaughter, Victoria (Kerry Condon). They teach Danny how to be a real person and to act civilly in society. They also allow Danny to explore his love of the piano, where a specific tune haunts him, bringing up repressed memories from his long-ago past. Just when Danny thinks he has escaped from his former life, he is pulled back in. Written by Besson and directed by Louis Letterier (THE TRANSPORTER), UNLEASHED is a gripping, heart-wrenching film fueled by the music of Massive Attack and a relentless visual style.


ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13: In 1976, John Carpenter paid homage to Howard Hawks' superlative western RIO BRAVO with his second full-length feature film, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13. Now it's Carpenter's turn to experience some cinematic adulation, with this remake of the film from director Jean-François Richet. Set in Detroit, Richet's film focuses on police Sergeant Jake Roenick (Ethan Hawke), whose failed career as an undercover cop has lead to a New Years Eve stint in charge of the dilapidated Precinct 13. As a snowstorm rattles the windows and doors of the rundown station, Roenick's festive banter with his co-workers is interrupted when a diverted prison bus escapes the ravages of the storm, seeking a temporary haven for its passengers in Precinct 13. Criminal mastermind Marion Bishop (Laurence Fishburne) is on board. Hot on their tail comes police detective Marcus Duvall (Gabriel Byrne), a crooked cop who puts the police station under siege in order to snag Bishop before he can testify against Duvall in court. But he doesn't bank on the impressive wiles of Roenick and his rag-tag mixture of cops and criminals, who unite in an attempt to defend themselves from an execrable ending at the hands of Duvall and his men. A highly entertaining action romp ensues, with Richet delivering fast-paced violence, surprising plot twists, and a blood-soaked finale.
