Brutal and Bloody Trailer For Wild Action Film MAYHEM! Set in Thailand — GeekTyrant

A trailer has been released for the brutal non-stop action flick, Mayhem!, which is set in Thailand. The film comes from director Xavier Gens (Hitman, Budapest) from a screenplay he co-wrote with Magali Rossitto in collaboration with Guillaume Lemans & Stéphane Cabel. Head of AMC Networks’ Film Group, Scott Shooman, previously said the movie showcases “some of the most impressive fight choreography we have ever seen.”

The film was shot in France and Thailand, and it stars Nassim Lyes as Sam. He is joined by Olivier Gourmet, and Vithaya Pansringarm. In the story, when Sam gets out of prison, “he finds it difficult to escape the reach of a local gang lord. He heads to Thailand, but searching for a kidnapped family member brings him square into the bullseye of the underbelly he was trying to escape.”

The full synopsis reads:

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.

This looks like a pretty-action packed thriller! It first opened in France this past June. IFC Films will debut Mayhem! in select US theaters + on VOD on January 5th. Check out the trailer below and let us know what you think.
