“The only way out is right through it.” Today, Prime Video released the official teaser trailer for the highly anticipated new action-drama series, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. Bringing global audiences back to the world of The Terminal List, the thrilling new teaser offers a look at “Ben Edwards’” (Taylor Kitsch) origin story before the events of the 2022 hit series. Dark Wolf will premiere the first three episodes on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. New episodes will follow weekly, leading up to the season finale on Wednesday, September 24.
Co-created by The New York Times bestselling author of The Terminal List, Jack Carr, and Season One creator-showrunner David DiGilio, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is a prequel series with an origin story that follows “Ben Edwards” throughout his journey from the Navy SEALs to the clandestine side of CIA Special Operations. The series is an espionage thriller that explores the darker side of warfare and the human cost that comes with it. It also features Chris Pratt reprising his role as “James Reece.”
“Digging into Ben’s origin with Dark Wolf was a blast. This season goes even deeper—there’s more grit, more heart, and a lot more on the line. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it really lets you see the heart of who he is. I have so much respect for the military and SEAL community and loved showing their brotherhood, the things you fight to hold onto, and just letting it all play out. I think fans are going to have a great time with it,” said Taylor Kitsch, Executive Producer and star of Dark Wolf.

As with Season One of the runaway hit The Terminal List, authenticity is a core pillar of The Terminal List: Dark Wolf – with military veterans contributing as writers, actors, on-set technical advisors, and executive producers, the series is committed to portraying the mindset, brotherhood, and moral complexity of Special Operations with respect and realism.
Additional cast for the series include Tom Hopper as “Raife Hastings,” Robert Wisdom as “Jed Haverford,” Luke Hemsworth as “Jules Landry,” Dar Salim as “Mohammed Farooq,” Rona-Lee Shimon as “Eliza Perash,” Shiraz Tzarfati as “Tal Varon,” Jared Shaw as “Ernest ‘Boozer’ Vickers,” and more.
The Terminal List: Dark Wolf is executive produced by Taylor Kitsch alongside Chris Pratt through Indivisible Productions, writer and showrunner David DiGilio, author Jack Carr, Antoine Fuqua and Kat Samick through Hill District Media, former Army Ranger and writer Max Adams, and former Navy SEAL, writer, and technical advisor Jared Shaw, as well as Emmy-winning (Shōgun) pilot director Frederick E.O. Toye. The series is produced by Amazon MGM Studios, MRC and Civic Center Media.

Here’s a nice little break from the serious award-bait winter films and the heart-tugging holiday family flicks. I’m talking about a taut lil’ action thriller that harkens back to old movie palace double features. You see, when the major studios controlled the theatre chains, they’d roll out a big prestige flick with a big budget and their “over the title” stars, and for the second part of the evening program it would be paired with a smaller budget flick, often referred to as a “B” picture, and usually a detective mystery or a cop vs. criminals caper. The “B” would be a great way for up and coming directors, actors, and screenwriters to establish themselves. Now, this week’s new action romp stars an actor whose last couple of films were big box office smashes (in the billion-dollar range), but it really exudes the “B” picture spirit with a director plucked right out of some of TV’s hottest shows, and stunts a lot more “down to Earth” than the F&F style franchises. It’s a gritty and grim saga of cops and robbers all set on the big city that’s only accessible by 21 BRIDGES.
And that saga starts twenty years ago as twelve-year-old Andre Davis tries to hold back the tears at the memorial for his father, a member of New York’s finest gunned down in the line of duty. Flash forward to today as adult Andre (Chadwick Boseman), now himself a cop (investigating detective to be precise) is facing the review board of Internal Affairs after he’s returned fire on a suspect. Seems he has a “rep” for not hesitating to draw down if threatened (nearly 10 times in as many years). Once again, Andre is cleared for duty and returns home to help care for his ailing mother. Much later, just a bit after midnight, a “muscle” car pulls into the alley outside a closed Brooklyn pasta palace. Two men, both former military, Michael (Stephan James) and Ray (Taylor Kitsch), pull out their assault weapons and pull up their bandanas, revealing only their eyes. After tricking the place’s night manager into letting them in, the duo is stunned to find 300 kilos of cocaine in the big walk-in freezer (they’d been told that only 30 K was there next to the pre-made lasagnas). But when they try to leave with several stuffed “take-home” bags full of powder, Michael and Ray encounter four patrolmen at the front entrance. Gunfire is exchanged and after a violent battle, the thieves race into the night, leaving eight dead cops in their wake. Andre is brought in, and because of the large haul of drugs left behind, he’s paired with narcotics detective Frankie Burns (Sienna Miller). At the crime scene is Captain McKenna (J.K. Simmons) of the nearby 85th Precinct. He knows about Andre and states, loudly, his wish that the “perps” never make it to trial. Andre examines the debris and tells his superiors, including the deputy mayor, that the crooks can only move their “merch” on the island, therefore all roads into Manhatten, including all 21 bridges, trains, and flights, will be closed off until the killers are caught. The “DM” finally agrees, but for only five hours. The city has to be back in business by 6 AM. Andre gets to work as NYC is “flooded with blue”. He’s got to find the guys, but he’s got a feeling that there’s more to this than a drug heist gone really, really bad.
Boseman oozes big star charisma as the one cop you don’t want on your case. In his opening scenes, he shows us the heartbroken little boy still at the center of trigger- (“watch the pronunciation”) happy Andre, full of contempt for those who question his methods. But he changes over the course of the movie as he becomes more thoughtful. Boseman conveys his slow realization that he’s being used like a pitbull unleashed, and is stunned to find that he begins to have empathy for both the victims and accused. Miller joins him in a departure from her often glamorous roles, her hair pulled back as she pounds the Bronx accent with vigor (lotsa’ ‘dems and ‘dese’) as Frankie (not Frances or, forbid, Francine). The thugs on the run offer a strong contrast. Kitsch is quick to strike, “double-tapping” the wounded without any hesitation, perhaps eager to punish anyone in his way. James, as Michael, is also an expert marksman, but winces in battle, perhaps still stunned that the quick score turns into a grueling “firefight”. He soon learns that his bond with Ray has put him in a corner, and forces him to use his wits and speed to survive the night. Simmons, as usual, is quite effective as the grieving but vengeful mentor. And look for a terrific turn by Alexander Siddig as the most effete money-laundering expert ever, complete with Vincent Price-style evening robe.
Director Brian Kirk, fresh from helming episodes of lauded TV shows “Game of Thrones” and “Penny Dreadful”, confidently enters the contemporary cop thriller arena. His early scenes with the botched drug heist crackle with tension and energy. And he’s able to keep the pace taut throughout this long violent night. Thanks to the screenplay from Matthew Michael Carnahan and Adam Mervis (story too) just enough info is doled out so we, along with Andre, slowly learn that there’s much more to this manhunt than these two guys on the run. The story is given a real urgency thanks to the location work with Philly often doubling for NYC. And after a summer of blockbusters, it’s nice that whole city blocks aren’t leveled and cars really adhere to the laws of gravity. And despite the multiple endings, the whole thing clocks in at a lean and mean 100 minutes. 12 BRIDGES is an “A” flick that emulates the very best of the “B” spirit.
Here’s yet another “inspired by true events” film , just in time for the somber Fall season. Somber, the right word for this one. Unlike this weekend’s other non-fiction flicks, it’s set in the not too distant past, not decades ago, but in this decade, the 2010’s. It concerns a group of men who regularly risk their lives, and often make the ultimate sacrifice, in order to protect their fellow men. And it shines a light on the families that must stay behind and hope that all goes well. You may be thinking that’s it’s another those on the front line, our soldiers overseas sagas as in the films THE HURT LOCKER and AMERICAN SNIPER. Well, these heroes aren’t on foreign soil, though they are on the front line, one made of flame. And with their special clothing and gear ,they could be mistaken for soldiers. Rather they are firefighters, but they aren’t roaring down the street on a fire truck, dalmatian in tow, ready to climb the ladder to a “towering inferno”. These guys fight the fires that consume forests, hoping to stop their journey before the flames reach the towns and cities. Such is the mission of the Granite Mountain Hotshots from the Prescott Arizona Fire Department. ONLY THE BRAVE fill their ranks.
Nearly ten years ago, Eric Marsh (Josh Brolin) bolts upright in bed after a nightmare. It’s the usual scenario that involves a charging bear on fire, an “ursine torch”. For his wife, horse trainer Amanda (Jennifer Connelly), this is fairly common. He then leaves for work as the captain to a squad of firefighters, a hand crew that goes into to stop wildfires, who report to the Fire Chief Duane Steinbrink (Jeff Bridges). They do the “grunt ” work and the prep for nearby towns. But Marsh wants his crew to become officially accredited by the state of Arizona, to become “hotshots”. But he needs to beef up their ranks, so he begins interviews and try outs. One hopeful is Brendan McDononugh (Miles Teller), a directionless twenty-something who retreated to the bottle and the bong after flunking out of some training courses. He’s just found out that a former fling is pregnant with his child, which spurs him to get his “act” together. After surviving an arduous hike, Marsh decides to take a chance on Brendan. As the months past, he rises to the challenge and even bonds with a former tormentor, Christopher (Taylor Kitsch). Eventually the team earns their accreditation, and Eric dubs them the Granite Mountain Hotshots. They become a proficient, well-oiled machine, starting controlled fires to stop the approaching flames while digging trenches to contain the spread. This leads up to a fateful day in June of 2013 when the Hotshots are called in to stop a lightning fire at Yarnell Hill. This routine assignment soon becomes a desperate fight for survival.
With his squinty gaze and stern growl, Brolin is a leader of men in the Clint Eastwood/ Kurt Russell mold (almost a brother to Kurt’s DEEPWATER HORIZON role). He’s tough, but he’s got a soft spot for lost causes, which would aptly describe Teller’s Brendan when we first meet him. Much like his roles in WHIPLASH and BLEED FOR THIS, Teller’s Brendan is another fella’ full of determination, though here we see a bit of his tender side as he tries to be a good father to his unexpected arrival. And there’s quite a father/son bond between his character and Marsh (we never see Brendan’s pop, only his ma’). The mother to all the crew may be Connelly’s Amanda who goes toe-to-toe with Eric while fighting despair as he trudges off in his gear, perhaps never to return. I suppose this would make Bridges the grandfather-figure, full of support and encouragement, trying to calm Eric’s frustrations. And Bridges gets to indulge in the drawling, “chaw-filled”, jaw-jutting delivery that we’ve seen many, many times ( TRUE GRIT, HELL OR HIGH WATER, R.I.P.D). His anchor at home is the criminally underused Andie MacDowell, so fiesty and funny (and sexy) in MAGIC MIKE XXL, but here regulated to comforting Connelly and being a sounding board for Bridges. Among the assorted fire house “beefcake”, James Badge Dale is a most able second-in command, while Kitsch as plenty a good ole’ boy charisma as the “heart of gold” Christopher.
The fire fighting profession hasn’t been exploited often by the movies, despite the compelling cinematic nature of the raging flames, here a destructive charging beast. Of course, film buffs will harken back to Ron Howard’s BACKDRAFT (though there’s no arson mystery here) or that all-star disaster epic that was producer Irwin Allen’s THE TOWERING INFERNO. But the whole Eric/Brendan theme reminded me of the near 50 year-old HELLFIGHTERS with John Wayne (yeah, the Duke) working with the cocky Jim Hutton. So why isn’t this flick as exciting as those earlier entries? Perhaps it’s because director Joseph Kosinski (OBLIVION) keeps hammering in the symbolism of that burning bear (three times). Or maybe it’s because the script by Ken Nolan and Eric Warren Singer (based on the GQ magazine article by Sean Flynn) spends far too much time on domestic drama and not enough on the fiery fields. They even resort to some clunky “two men and a baby” hijinks at one point. Plus the big verbal throw-down between Eric and Amanda doesn’t ring true (angry because he’s not starting a family with her) and feels more than a tad sexist. This leaves only about 20 minutes of the 133 minute running time for actually fighting fires. The story of the “screw-up” who redeems himself to the guys has been a cliché in war flicks for years (I almost expected one of the crew to be nicknamed “Brooklyn”). The men portrayed are real heroes, true lifesavers who deserved a better celebration and tribute than this lackluster and tedious tale. ONLY THE BRAVE just has little spark.
