When the city wants you dead…can you survive the day? Well, you’re going to find out, as an upcoming action<\/a> thriller puts you squarely and unflinchingly in the role of action hero more than ever. Taking inspiration from the abundance of action-infused video games that have existed since Maze War first emerged more than 50 years ago, the extreme first trailer for Bad Day at the Office puts you behind the eyes of a man just fighting to survive.<\/p>\n

Action Xtreme has now unleashed the brand-new teaser for their upcoming turbo-charged action thriller Bad Day at the Office, which is all set to have its World Premiere as the opening film of the prestigious Midnight Madness strand at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and will be released in UK & Irish Cinemas from Oct. 30, 2026. Shot entirely in first person, Bad Day At The Office combines a high-octane action thriller with that of an adrenaline-fueled video game<\/a>. With the action all seen through the eyes of the protagonists and antagonists via GoPro cameras, we’ll be forced to feel every punch, every chase, and every explosion. You can check out the mayhem below…<\/p>\n

When Karl (John Hannah) awakes in a wrecked hotel room with a splitting headache, it isn\u2019t because he\u2019s nursing a nasty hangover. Karl has no memory of what\u2019s happened, where he is, or even who he is.<\/p>\n

When he discovers a dead body in his bathtub, and two police officers soon knocking at his door, it sets into motion a terrifying and explosive series of events that force Karl and hotel maid Molly (Radha Mitchell) on a blind descent into a deceptive world of confusion and conspiracy, all the while with a price on his head and half the city in murderous pursuit.<\/p>\n

Karl will need to draw on his forgotten skill sets if he has any hope of survival, as he and Molly endeavour to unravel the mystery that took his memories.<\/p>\n

Boasting bloody mayhem and a mysterious man with a particular set of skills, Bad Day at the Office promises to be a must-see for those enamored with the white-knuckle action displayed in the likes of Jason Statham’s <\/a>Crank<\/a> and the similarly presented Hardcore Henry. Add a sprinkling of Guy Ritchie’s Snatch and so much fist-fighting, gun-play, and sword-swinging that even Baba Yaga would blush<\/a>, as well as transforming beloved The Mummy star John Hannah<\/a> into an unstoppable force, and suddenly the action thriller quickly becomes a must-see. <\/p>\n

Bad Day at the Office also stars Radha Mitchell<\/a> (Pitch Black), Tamer Hassan (The Football Factory) and Lana Parrilla (Once Upon a Time) as well as Tim Fellingham (Final Destination 5), Roxanne McKee (Game of Thrones), Branko Tomovi\u0107 (24: Live Another Day) and Victor Gardener (Fast and Furious 6). <\/p>\n

Director Chee Keong Cheung (the filmmaker behind the recent action thriller sleeper hit Son of the Soil<\/a>) creates a wild and relentless POV thriller that puts the audience squarely inside the chaos and casts us as the main character. “Shot in the style of first-person shooter video games with cine-literate wit, humor, ferocious pacing and a cracking soundtrack, this is an anarchic, ultra-violent and hilarious thrill ride of pure, cinematic carnage,” said Festival Producer at Edinburgh Emma Boa. “The ultimate Midnight Madness experience.”<\/p>\n
