- Set in 1970s Detroit, the revenge thriller co-stars Shailene Woodley, Ben Foster and Pablo Schreiber and is directed by Potsy Ponciroli.
- A teaser shared by Ritchson on Instagram shows his character’s arrest, and early Venice reviews highlight striking style and sound design, with some critics noting a style-over-substance tilt.
- Ben Foster said the film is not silent but features about five lines of dialogue, foregrounding physical performance over traditional exposition.
- The film premiered August 30 at the Venice Film Festival, Ritchson missed the event due to Reacher filming, a Toronto bow this week is expected, and a wider release is reportedly eyed for late 2025 or early 2026.
