‘Mayhem!’ Trailer Does, In Fact, Bring The Mayhem
Xavier Gens is a master of cinematic violence. From his feature film debut Frontier(s) to his work on the Gangs of New York series, Gens knows how to shoot action. Now, he’s delivering slick action choreography in his new film Mayhem!, starring MMA fighter Nassim Lyes.
Read the full synopsis:
Sam (Nassim Lyes) is a professional boxer about to be released from prison in France, but while on parole, his past catches up with him and he is forced to flee the country. Five years later, he has rebuilt a simple life on an exotic island in Thailand with his wife Mia and her daughter Dara, working multiple jobs to support his family and buy a piece of land to build a restaurant. As his life begins to improve, a job gone wrong puts Sam in the crosshairs of local crime lord Narong (Olivier Gourmet), who retaliates with brutal violence. Crushed but still alive, Sam is left with only one purpose: to seek merciless and bone-breaking vengeance.
Watch the trailer below:
The trailer is already giving us Oldboy vibes as our lead fights his way through a claustrophobic hallway. But you really won’t want to miss the film’s elevator sequence…
Lyes stars in the film with Olivier Gourmet and Vithaya Pansringarm.
Mayhem! comes to theaters, digital, and VOD on January 5, 2023.
