Overview
- Released by Cineverse on December 12, the film stars Rohan Campbell and Ruby Modine and is written and directed by Mike P. Nelson.
- The new take recasts Billy as a Dexter‑style avenger guided by a gravelly inner voice called Charlie, blending supernatural touches with a budding romance.
- Reviews are mixed, with praise for gruesome set pieces, lead chemistry and craft upgrades, and criticism of an overstuffed script, flat stretches and tonal whiplash.
- A standout sequence features a brutal takedown of neo‑Nazis, underscored by blunt on‑screen chapter cards that telegraph the film’s confrontational style.
- The production was shot in Winnipeg with significant Canadian talent, and its unusual marketing—retro trailers and full‑scene drops—helped fuel pre‑release buzz.
