Miami Heat (2021) - Oleg Prudius, Shannon Murray, Luis Da Silva Jr., Olivier Richters

[AlbertV]

Oleg Prudius, a member of the 87Eleven Stunt Team and is more known for his stint in the WWE as Vladimir Koslov, is starring in a new action film where he will unleash his Sambo skills. He plays Yuri, a retired Spetsnaz agent who is living a quiet life in Miami when his daughter, an aspiring model, is kidnapped. When he learns she is the victim of a trafficking ring and he is beaten and left for dead by the perpetrators, he will join forces with his ex-wife (Murray) and hacker Luis (Da Silva Jr.) to get revenge and get his daughter back.

Kind of looks like "Taken(2008)", but doesn't look like its going to be as good. Think I will pass on this one.

It's not as good as Taken as it's clearly low-budget, but for what they have, it's expected there will be OTT villains and some action scenes that are a mixed bag. However, the highlight comes in the form of Luis Da Silva Jr's Lou, who provides some funny lines when trying to talk sense into Yuri (and does so on multiple occasions). This is not going to be for everyone, but I had a pretty good time watching it. It's available to watch for free (with ads) on VUDU. 

If you catch the film, look out for Dragon Fire star Dominick LaBanca as a thug dressed in a Santa suit during the nightclub fight scene.
