Tyrese Gibson Stars In Trailer for 1992 Alongside Scott Eastwood And Ray Liotta – Produced by Snoop Dogg

Lionsgate’s 1992, the upcoming action-crime thriller starring Tyrese Gibson and directed by Ariel Vromen (The Iceman) and co-starring Ray Liotta in one of his final film roles, will be released in theaters on August 30, with the legendary hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg boarding the film to executive produce through his Death Row Pictures banner. The announcement was jointly made today by Adam Fogelson, chair, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, as well as Gibson and Snoop Dogg.

Starring Tyrese Gibson, Clé Bennett, Dylan Arnold, Christopher A’mmanuel, Michael Beasley, Ori Pfeffer, Tosin Morohunfola, Oleg Taktarov, with Scott Eastwood, and Ray Liotta in one of his final film roles, 1992 is directed by Ariel Vromen from a screenplay by Sascha Penn and Ariel Vromen and a story by Sascha Penn. It is produced by Ariel Vromen, Andreas Rommel, Maurice Fadida, Sascha Penn, and Adam Kolbrenner.

In 1992, Mercer (Tyrese Gibson) is desperately trying to rebuild his life and his relationship with his son (Christopher A’mmanuel) amidst the turbulent 1992 LA uprising following the Rodney King verdict. Across town, another father and son (Ray Liotta and Scott Eastwood) put their own strained relationship to the test as they plot a dangerous heist to steal catalytic converters, which contain valuable platinum, from the factory where Mercer works. As tensions rise in Los Angeles and chaos erupts, both families reach their boiling points when they collide in this tense crime-thriller.

Snoop Dogg said, “1992 was a life-changing time for me, from ‘Deep Cover’ to ‘The Chronic.’ But as things in my life were coming together, everything in LA was coming apart. 1992 is a heist movie that really captures all of that. This movie is about an LA moment. Ariel made an outstanding film that depicts this moment in time. From my first encounter with Tyrese in Baby Boy to the performance in 1992, I had to be a part of this. And it’s only fitting that the film come out under Death Row Pictures as Death Row is synonymous with LA culture in the 90’s, ya dig?”

“Snoop is one of the most beloved figures in entertainment and I could not be more thankful that he chose to join our project,” said Gibson. “Ray Liotta blessed all of us in life while doing this film. For 1992 to be Ray’s last offering, we all feel so fortunate to have captured such a masterful and chilling performance.”

Tyrese Gibson has starred in over 35 feature films, including two of the most successful movie franchises in history. Notably, he is recognized for his signature role as Roman Pearce in Fast & Furious. A six-time GRAMMY Award nominee and RIAA Platinum certified singer/songwriter, Gibson will soon release his highly anticipated double-album “Beautiful Pain.” The album features collaborations with Lenny Kravitz, Kenny G, and David Foster among others.

Rated R for violence and pervasive language.

BAD HOMBRES (2024) – Review

A scene from BAD HOMBRES. Credit: Screen Media.

BAD HOMBRES is a gritty little action drama based in the drug trade and illegal immigration along the US/Mexican border in the dusty southwest. We start with Felix (Diego Tinoco) and his cousin competing for day labor in a Home Depot-type of parking lot. The cousin, who’s been here a while, is showing him how to get by despite his almost complete lack of English. The two get separated, leaving Felix haplessly like a fish out of water. A friendly, chatty Aussie (Liam Hemsworth) approaches and hires him, along with a surly old guy who has a truck, Alfonso (Hemky Madera). The job is doing some digging in the desert, supposedly at his uncle’s ranch.

When they get to the remote location, they’re told to dig a big hole and start shoveling. They soon learn there ain’t no uncle and there ain’t no ranch. The hole is for dumping the bodies of rival drug thugs Hemsworth and his partner dispatched. The old guy realizes that they’re about to become loose ends who know too much, and will probably wind up joining the stiffs in this unmarked ad hoc cemetery. Never good for one’s career plans or life expectancy. Alfonso realizes the urgency of escape, and swings into action to get the two away from their “employers.” The rest of the movie is the pair dashing around, trying to avoid getting killed by those guys or a rival gang’s hitter (Tyrese Gibson) who is on his own quest for dudes to eliminate. Oh. There’s also a missing few million in cash to ramp up everyone’s motivation and zeal.

This one’s gory all the way, with a high body count in terms of the percentage of the small cast that doesn’t survive to the roll of the credits. They may have spent more on fake blood and blanks for the guns than on lighting and craft services combined. There’s suspense about who will be more or less important to the story, and who will wind up on the good side or bad when the dust settles. I must advise that the biggest names in the cast – Gibson, Hemsworth and Thomas Jane – don’t necessarily get the most screen time. If you’re drawn to this one because they’re in it (as was I), you may be disappointed. Fortunately, you won’t be surprised by that as well, if you’ve read this far before watching; all part of our friendly service here at the ol’ reliable website.

Apart from that, director/co-writer John Stahlberg Jr. maintains a good pace as the scene rotates among numerous arenas of contemporaneous action, sustaining several aspects of suspense throughout, with a couple of twists along the way. That’s about as much as one can reasonably ask for from low-budget, guilty-pleasure crime flicks like this.

BAD HOMBRES, in English and Spanish with English subtitles, opens in theater and on-demand on Friday, Jan. 26.

FAST X Behind The Scenes Featurette With Stars John Cena, Charlize Theron, Jason Momoa, Michelle Rodriguez And Vin Diesel

Check out this new behind the scenes featurette of FAST X.

The end of the road begins.

Fast X, the tenth film in the Fast & Furious Saga, launches the final chapters of one of cinema’s most storied and popular global franchises, now in its third decade and still going strong with the same core cast and characters as when it began.

Vin Diesel is Dom in FAST X, directed by Louis Leterrier

Get tickets now: https://tickets.fastxmovie.com/

Over many missions and against impossible odds, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family have outsmarted, out-nerved and outdriven every foe in their path. Now, they confront the most lethal opponent they’ve ever faced: A terrifying threat emerging from the shadows of the past who’s fueled by blood revenge, and who is determined to shatter this family and destroy everything—and everyone—that Dom loves, forever.

In 2011’s Fast Five, Dom and his crew took out nefarious Brazilian drug kingpin Hernan Reyes and decapitated his empire on a bridge in Rio De Janeiro. What they didn’t know was that Reyes’ son, Dante (Aquaman’s Jason Momoa), witnessed it all and has spent the last 12 years masterminding a plan to make Dom pay the ultimate price.

Dante’s plot will scatter Dom’s family from Los Angeles to the catacombs of Rome, from Brazil to London and from Portugal to Antarctica. New allies will be forged and old enemies will resurface. But everything changes when Dom discovers that his own 8-year-old son (Leo Abelo Perry, Black-ish) is the ultimate target of Dante’s vengeance.

Directed by Louis Leterrier (Clash of the Titans, The Incredible Hulk), Fast X stars returning cast members Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Jason Statham, John Cena and Scott Eastwood, with Oscar® winner Helen Mirren and Oscar® winner Charlize Theron.

The film also features an extraordinary new cast including Oscar® winner Brie Larson as Tess, a rogue representative from the Agency; Alan Richtson (Reacher) as Aimes, the new head of the Agency who doesn’t hold the same fondness for Dom’s crew as his predecessor, Mr. Nobody; Daniela Melchior (The Suicide Squad) as a Brazilian street racer with a powerful tie to Dom’s past; and legendary Oscar® winner Rita Moreno as Dom and Mia’s Abuelita Toretto.

Fast X is produced by Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel, Justin Lin, Jeff Kirschenbaum and Samantha Vincent. The executive producers are Joseph M. Caracciolo, Jr., David Cain, Chris Morgan, Amanda Lewis and Mark Bomback. www.thefastsaga.com

MORBIUS – Review

Already, it’s been over three months, so who’s ready to return to the Marvel Universe via your nearby multiplex? Now, before the littlest hands “rise up”, be forewarned that this is the “dark, spooky” corner of Marvel. Oh, and technically it’s not the official MCU, but rather the “Sony-verse’ as this is labeled “in association with Marvel”, much as was the Oscar-winning SPIDER-VERSE animated epic and the twin VENOM flicks. But it does tie into our favorite “wall-crawler” as did the former films. To coincide with Spidey’s sixtieth (must be something extra in that radioactive “bite”). we’re getting another villain “spin-off” (insert web-spinning puns). Now, the oozing symbiote was from the 1980s and the “baddie quintet” from December’s blockbuster are all from the 1960s. So what about those swingin’ sparkly 70s? To be precise, 1971 saw a lot of change in the “funny books’ as the Comic Code Authority (a self-regulating group) finally let the monsters rise again. Naturally, Marvel tested the waters by introducing one to face the “amazing y’know”. And now he makes his big-screen debut (after a two-year pandemic delay). So put on your scarves “true believers”, here comes the very thirty vampire known as MORBIUS. As a count named Floyd would say, “ooooo, scary keeds’!”.

After a brief present-day prologue in Costa Rica, we’re whisked back twenty-five years to a childrens’ hospital special unit in Greece where we meet pre-teen Michael Morbius. He’s suffering from a rare blood malady, leaving him very weak and under the care of the kind Dr. Nikols (Jared Harris). We also meet Michael’s newest friend and neighbor (he’s got the bed next to him), Lucian, whom he dubs Milo (after the last occupant of the space). Michael’s already a science whiz, which leads him a couple of decades later to invent life-saving artificial blood. And now Dr. Morbius (Jared Leto) is the “top dog” at the Horizon medical center alongside friend (maybe more) Dr. Bancroft (Adria Arjona). But while Dr. M tends to the kids there, he’s got another project brewing, namely a cure for his own weakened condition. Now because some of his ideas are considered radical, Horizon won’t “foot the bill”, so Michael must turn to Milo (Matt Smith), who’s now a wealthy businessman (though the biz is more than a bit “shady”) and is still tended by Nikols. He really wants that healing “fix” so he hires a cargo ship out of Panama manned by local mercenaries to take Morbius and Bancroft to Central America. Onboard, the two perfect a “serum” which has disastrous side effects for Dr. M. After one of the crew knocks out Bancroft, Dr. M transforms into a powerful bat-like blood-drinking “demon”. When the ship drifts to the coast of Long Island with its crew drained of blood and Bancroft unconscious, two FBI agents, Stroud (Tyrese Gibson) and Rodriguez (Al Madrigal) investigate while searching for the missing Mobius. Meanwhile, he’s roaming the streets of NYC, secretly entering the Horizon lab, hoping to make a cure to his botched “cure” and trying to keep his “inner beast” caged by consuming his own artificial blood supply. But his body seems to crave the “real deal”. Will he turn the Big Apple into his own blood bank? And what about Milo’s mania for the cure? Could this lead to a showdown between childhood pals?

Leto brings some much-needed humanity to his role as one of Marvel’s early anti-heroes (many forget that Hawkeye and the Black Widow originally teamed up against Iron Man) and gives us a look into the conflicted nature of Michael. With dark, haunting eyes, Leto conveys the doc’s empathetic nature, first with young Milo, then with his afflicted child patients, gifting them with a bit of origami. But when the “hunger” overtakes him, there’s a feral intensity in those eyes, showing us that he’ll do whatever it takes to survive. Then the remorse sets in as guilt cast its shadow and Leto’s disturbed doc thinks that he must save the world from himself. Smith is very effective as the “flip side of the coin”, also ailing but with no compulsion about humanity, adding lots of danger to his “dandy” persona from ONE NIGHT IN SOHO. Arjona makes a terrific partner for Leto as the co-worker who challenges him while slowly sliding from the professional to the personal in their relationship. Harris brings lots of father-like compassion to his too-small role as Nikols. Plus Gibson and Madrigal make a good team, call it a “dour cop/wiseacre cop” team as the agents are almost always a few steps behind the monster mayhem.

Hey Marvel-maniacs, here’s the first appearance of Morbius fighting a multi-armed Spidey (don’t ask)!

The horror and superhero elements somehow mesh together under the assured direction of Daniel Espinosa working from the script by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (and based on the Marvel character created by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane). The brief “origin” sequence has a haunting childhood melancholy like a nostalgic nightmare. And that’s the correct way to describe the last part of that origin as the tragic “transformation” turns the cargo ship (check out its familiar name) into a floating deathtrap. Since Morbius becomes a vampire via science and not a magical curse, the effects team has found some interesting ways to twist the horror trope. Morbius in attack mode seemingly bursts into a mass of flying bats or leaves a trail of them in his wake. His speed is slowed down for a few seconds to highlight his animal-like stance and stride. When he must feed his face morphs into the lean angular rodent visage (I thought of the vamps that Buffy dusted on TV). One nice touch is the appearance of ridges in his earlobes when he uses his sonar abilities. Later when he leaps across the city a color trail (the orange jumpsuit) barely catches up to him. Set against the glittering neon cityscape, the visuals are stunning, but it doesn’t quite make up for some of the script’s problems. Nikols is an underwritten enigma, we’re not quite certain of Milo’s true “interest’, and the romance of Morbius and Bancroft feels like a bit of plot motivation. I did enjoy this more than the Venom films, but then I’ve also preferred this character in Spidey’s “rogue’s gallery”, mixing the ferocity of Lee’s Dracula with the romantic sadness of Frid’s Barnabas. And no, he’s not got that dark blue with red highlights open chested suit of the comics, but it’s not really missed in the long run. It’s not at all close to the scope of the last Spider-Man opus but there’s quite a bit of bite in MORBIUS.

DANGEROUS – Review

Scott Eastwood and Tyrese Gibson in DANGEROUS. Courtesy of Mind’s Eye Entertainment

In DANGEROUS, Scott Eastwood stars as a guy who was incarcerated under psychiatric care for many years due to a violent nature that’s been given plenty of exercise throughout his life. He learns of his brother’s untimely death and rushes to the remote island off the Washington coastline that was his final home and project. The former WW II defense facility features a large, rambling house he was restoring as a resort hotel.

Upon arrival, he’s greeted with venomous hostility from his mother (Brenda Bazinet), who mourns the loss of her “good son” and has hated Eastwood for all the troubles and embarrassments suffered on account of his years of misconduct. He’s taking meds and receiving on-demand counseling from a shrink (Mel Gibson) who urges Eastwood to control his urges, even beyond the point of reality. The rehab plan is sorely tested just after he gets there when a gang of thugs takes control, searching for something that none of the few captive residents know about. The rest of the film involves gradually learning more about Eastwood, his brother and their histories with this vicious group – especially their smugly sadistic leader (superbly played by Kevin Durand) in a cat-and-mouse exercise in survival.

Oh, I forgot that dashing off to the island violated his parole, adding pursuit by an angry FBI agent (Famke Janssen) to Eastwood’s burdens. What’s relatively unique to this spin on a common setup is Eastwood’s sincerely clueless struggle to overcome the sociopathic side of his nature. That’s enhanced with a darkly comical series of phone calls to his shrink, seeking help coping with the increasingly dangerous conditions and choices facing him. He really doesn’t want to undo his progress from years of therapy by killing any more people, even when circumstances are screaming for him to reactivate his … shall we say… particular set of skills.

That element of grim character humor and the smarmy psychopathy of Durand’s character elevate this somewhat above B-movie norms. Eastwood’s internal struggles come across believably enough to arouse our empathy, thereby supporting engagement in the suspense of learning what the bad guys expect to find that’s worth this much trouble, and who will survive the ordeal. Credit also goes to the location scouts and set designers who provided such a wonderfully complex and ominous locale for events to unfold.

This is no dramatic masterpiece; nor was one intended. But if you’re in the mood for grimly violent crime fare, you could do a heck of a lot worse. I know that because I’ve done so on many, many occasions.

DANGEROUS opens Nov. 5 in theaters.
