Distributor RLJE Movies has been persistently placing out stable style fare for the final a number of years, and whereas “Muzzle” appears to be like to be a no-nonsense, hard-hitting cop thriller, there are a number of clues that there could also be one thing occurring right here greater than meets the attention. For one, co-writer Carlyle Eubank co-wrote the mysterious 2014 sci-fi flick “The Sign” (directed by his brother, William Eubank, who additionally made the nice Kristen Stewart-led monster film “Underwater”). For an additional, the movie’s official synopsis appears to trace at some shady enterprise occurring beneath the floor:
“Jake resolves to go rogue and companions with ‘Socks,’ a violent Okay-9 with titanium incisors and a mysterious previous. Jake and Socks intention to uncover an enormous conspiracy that has a chokehold on the town and take vengeance on these accountable.”
Is “Muzzle” a “John Wick”-style revenge flick, the place Jake and Socks discover themselves getting into a secret underworld that they should expose and/or blow up? Or is it nearer to “RoboCop,” the place maybe Socks is by some means a technologically resurrected Ace or whatnot? Is that this film a secret “Okay-9000” remake?
Regardless of the case could also be, judging by the trailer, the movie is gonna be a candy 96 minutes of Jake and Socks unleashed, placing the chunk on unhealthy guys round L.A. with assist from co-stars Diego Tinoco, Penelope Mitchell, and the all the time welcome (and all the time badass) Stephen Lang. My guess is that there shall be lots to chew on when “Muzzle” drops in theaters and VOD on September 29, 2023.
