Quote

Maxx is a legionnaire turned mercenary. When a mission in South America goes wrong Maxx is left for dead, but he is nursed back to health and reborn with a new outlook on life. He tries to live tranquilly within the confines of his new beliefs surrounded by his new friends at a church. But his peaceful days are short-lived when mercenaries he used to work with cross his path again and he is forced to revisit and face his own demons. His brutal past, war and violence have come looking for him again. His path to redemption is interrupted and Maxx becomes an avenging warrior using the skills that were his trade.  - Evolutionary Film synopsis

Here's a much better quality version of the trailer, I posted last year.

Red band trailer...

Just sat through the trailer, this looks's a very promising indiependent actioner. Looks more fun that a lot of the big budget fair coming out of Hollywood. Looking forward to seeing Mr Vandenberg in his first starring role?, and seeing more of Louis Mandylor as the protagonist. He's also got a role in the up-coming Ruby Rose, Jean Reno flick Doorman.

Going to DVD and Digital on January 7, 2020 by Uncork'd Entertainment. They are a decent indie distributor, I think they started with horror films but now do all genres. They distributed Death Kiss, starring Robert Bronzi.

Vandenberg's first starring role was in another Jesse V. Johnson film, 2005's Pit Fighter. The film had Scott Adkins in a non-action role as a cowboy named Nathan. Saw it years ago and thinking about eventually re-visiting it. I will be talking with Dominiquie Vandenberg this afternoon about The Mercenary and will have both the review and interview posted on my blog to start off 2020 (January 1, 2020), in time for its US release on January 7.

Fist of justice, Maxx the Preacher(Dominqiue Vanderberg) show's his just as good at beating people up, as he is at providing spiritual guidance.

Usually, I'm very skeptical about low-budget, indie efforts, but the trailer looks surprisingly decent
