I may have to sculpt my review to be a bit nicer.

I'm also doing an interview with Gianni Capaldi as well.

Review? This reads more like misleading and uninformed PR promo propaganda...

Thank you for the review. It made my day. Gianni and Daniel did an outstanding job. So did the rest of the cast. Let’s not forget DP Marco Cappetta, editor Scott Evans, score, producers…etc. A team is really what it takes to do a movie. When the team is great the movie has a chance. otherwise it doesn’t. One thing is sure is that I don’t know Phil Wheat and he doesn’t work for my PR, therefore I can only thank him for the words he wrote as far as I am concerned. I had a blast shooting this one. G

I've got a pretty interesting interview coming up with Gianni Capaldi. Seems a good guy and is good mates with Vinnie Jones apparently. Should be up over the weekend.

There's a chance I might get a review quote on the UK cover.

Seems LOADED and HEYUGUYS beat you to it... Try again for BATTLE OF THE DAMNED (Dec 26 from eOne/Momentum)

[Tom]

Ha ha. They were better at exaggerating just how spectacular the film was. Lol. Quote whores!

Please forgive me if I'm late to the party on this one, but who is this Gianni Capaldi? I still don't get it. And how is he able to land starring roles in two action movies (with his name promoted alongside Dolph and Vinnie mind you) and help finance them both? It seems like he somewhat came out of nowhere...

[Tom]

He knows the right people I guess. It's what this business is about really. He's not a bad actor in fairness. He's friends with Vinnie Jones and I guess being a producer as well has helped him get significant parts in these films, as opposed to just popping up with 2 lines here and there.
He was a successful businessman before getting into acting, so maybe he's puts some money into a few projects and it's given him a leg up.

[Jox]

Savagesketch you're not late the party, the guys came out of nowhere and suddenly he's producing and co-starring in these three movies (RUSH, BOR and CERTAIN JUSTICE) all from Serafini plus a couple other movies he's been in coming out soon...

I think he's not just "a" producer but he developed and brought up RUSH and BLOOD OF REDEMPTION, had a big hand in getting them made so if he's an actor it's no wonder he gets himself roles. But freaking 3 movies back to back with the same 3 leads and cast is a bit over the top no matter what you say (sure you guys are having a good time on set but it's the audience who has to suffer through the movies), I would have left him and Jones (whom I prob never saw anywhere but is already getting on my nerves in the trailer)...

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – On November 12, Anchor Bay Films will release Ambushed: a hard-hitting thriller about the law’s battle to keep order, bringing back together hard-hitting Expendables I and II ex-pats Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture, with Vinnie Jones (Snatch, X-Men: The Last Stand, Swordfish) completing a holy trinity of action and thrills! Directed by Giorgio Serafini, written by Agustin, and from the producers of Maximum Conviction, Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden and The Devil’s in the Details,Ambushed packs a punch full of fists and thrills, and will be available for an SRP of $29.99 for the Blu-ray™/DVD Combo Pack and $24.98 for the DVD. Pre-book is October 16.

Ambushed charts the dark, seductive underbelly of Los Angeles, told from the point of view of two of its seedier denizens, mid-level drug pushers Eddie (Gianni Capaldi) and Frank (Daniel Bonjour). They want a chance to hit the big time. Unfortunately, they decide to achieve their goal by ripping off their middleman in a murderous bid for greatness, setting off a dangerous chain of events involving a ruthless crime boss, a dirty cop and the Federal agent chasing them all.

Agent Maxwell (Dolph Lundgren, One in the Chamber, The Package) is about to close in on an international cocaine smuggling operation run by criminal mastermind Vincent Camastra (Jones). When Agent Beverly Royce (Carly Pope, “24,” “Californication,” Concrete Blondes) goes undercover with the drug dealers, she finds herself in deeper than she can handle. Up against ruthless killers as well as dirty cop Jack Reiley (Randy Couture, UFC Hall of Fame, Hijacked, “The Unit”), Frank and Eddie will soon find that dreams built on corruption sometimes exact a heavy toll...
