I Am Wrath — Trailer

added: Thu, Mar 10th '16

John Travolta can currently be seen as the ego-bloated lawyer Robert Shapiro on FX's hit miniseries "The People v. O.J. Simpson." But in the trailer for the new revenge thriller, "I Am Wrath," Travolta is the one facing some serious prison time as he plays an avenging ex-gunman forced out of retirement when his wife (Rebecca De Mornay) is murdered by scumbags.

Essentially, a "John Wick" and "Death Wish" knock-off, the action thriller comes from genre director Chuck Russell (Eraser, The Mask), his first film in 14 years, since helming the 2002 fantasy actioner "The Scorpion King."

"I Am Wrath" also stars Christopher Meloni, Luis Da Silva Jr., Amanda Schull, Sam Trammell, and Patrick St. Esprit. It will be made available on VOD April 15th and in select theaters on May 13th.

synopsis:
Unemployed engineer Stanley Hill (John Travolta) witnesses the brutal murder of his wife Vivian (Rebecca De Mornay) who was attacked by thugs in a parking garage. When Detective Gibson (Sam Trammell) and other corrupt police officers are unable and unwilling to bring the killers to justice, Stanley turns to his old friend Dennis (Christopher Meloni) and decides to take matters into his own hands. It is only then that Stanley and Dennis are found to have a mysterious past that, until now, they kept very well hidden. As they wreak their revenge, those involved in the cover up realise that Stanley and Dennis are more dangerous than they could have ever imagined...
