DCU star Joel Kinnaman is back with another action film, this time playing an unexpected hero looking for redemption in the coldest parts of the world. Heading straight to digital next month, his latest project looks like an explosive thriller that will be perfect for the late-night popcorn watch. And, judging by the new trailer, it is safe to say that Kinnaman is on a Liam Neeson-esque trajectory to becoming a consistent face in the genre.
Aura Entertainment has released the official trailer Icefall, an upcoming action thriller that sees Kinnaman play a notorious poacher looking for redemption. The Suicide Squad actor is joined by Cara Jade Myers (Killers of the Flower Moon), a young Native American game warden who arrests Kinnaman’s character. After he finds out that a plane carrying millions crashed in a frozen lake, all hell breaks loose as a dramatic, bloody pursuit is unleashed in the snowy terrain. Check out the trailer below.
Icefall will release on digital and video on demand on November 4. The film was directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky (Hinterland), based on a screenplay by George Mahaffey (Chief of Station) and Steve Isles (The Possession of David O’Reilly). In addition to Kinnaman and Myers, the cast features Danny Huston (The Naked Gun), Graham Greene (Dances With Wolves), Martin Sensmeier (The Magnificent Seven), Oliver Trevena (Paradox Effect), and Devaughn Nixo (Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty). Read the logline:
After capturing a notorious poacher, a young Native American game warden learns that he is aware of the location of a plane carrying millions of dollars that has crashed in a frozen lake.
Before ‘Icefall,’ Watch Joel Kinnaman’s 70% Rated Action Film on Streaming
Before Icefall arrives on digital next month, get prepared with another Joel Kinnaman action thriller. The Silent Hour dominated streaming when it arrived on Hulu early this year. Kinnaman plays Frank Shaw, a Boston detective who has permanent hearing loss after an injury he received on the job. Months after the accident, he is tasked with interpreting for a deaf woman, played by Sandra Mae Frank, who was witness to a gang murder. Both are forced to battle their way out of an apartment building full of killers sent to silence her. With a 70% on Rotten Tomatoes, the film may not have shattered expectations, but it was able to live up to its solid premise.
Directed by Brad Anderson (The Machinist), The Silent Hour cast features Kinnaman, Mae Frank, Mekhi Phifer, Mark Strong, Michael Eklund, Djinda Kane, and Katrina Lupi. Check out the plot synopsis:
Boston Detective Frank Shaw (Joel Kinnaman) returns to duty after a career-altering injury leaves him with permanent hearing loss. Tasked with interpreting for Ava Fremont (Sandra Mae Frank), a deaf witness to a brutal gang murder, they find themselves cornered in a soon-to-be-condemned apartment building when the killers return to eliminate her. Cut off from the outside world, these two strangers must lean on each other to outsmart killers they can’t hear coming for their only hope of making it out alive.
