“I just needed a safe space to work through my feelings.” Quiver has unveiled the full trailer for an action comedy titled Hostile Takeover, another of these dime-a-dozen junk action flicks. It’s heading to VOD in August in a few weeks if anyone wants to give it a go. The movie is about Pete, a professional hitman, who faces a group of assassins when a crime syndicate boss suspects disloyalty because he goes to “Workaholics Anonymous” meetings. Michael Jai White stars at hitman Pete Strykyr, along with Aimee Stolte, Aleks Paunovic, and Dawn Olivieri. Hostile Takeover is described as a “hyper-stylized, kinetic thrill ride full of savage action, mystery and humor. Think John Wick meets Crank, with a dash of Burn After Reading – a brutal, wildly entertaining examination of burnout, betrayal & what happens when the city’s most efficient killer decides to find a littler inner peace… and ends up starting a war.” Looks so bad despite the fun setup.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Michael Hamilton-Wright’s film Hostile Takeover, from YouTube:
Pete Strykyr (Michael Jai White) is a top-tier hitman with a knack for talking his way out of trouble—until a deadly mix-up puts a target on his back. Hunted by the city’s deadliest killers, Pete’s forced into a wild, brutal night of improvised combat, gloomy humor, and survival. With fists flying and bullets blazing, he battles through the chaos to clear his name—only to face one last twist. Hostile Takeover is directed by American producer / filmmaker Michael Hamilton-Wright, director of the movie The Mangler 2, and a producer on many others including Shelby, Dead of Winter, Battle Done, Dylan & Zoey, King of Killers. The screenplay is written by Burton L. Warner & Michael Hamilton Wright. Produced by Jaclyne Bohn, David Cormican, Anand Ramayya, and Michael Hamilton-Wright. Quiver Distr. debuts Hamilton-Wright’s Hostile Takeover movie in select US theaters + on VOD starting August 8th, 2025 coming soon. Anyone into this?
