Distributor RLJE Movies has been persistently placing out strong style fare for the final a number of years, and whereas “Muzzle” appears to be a no-nonsense, hard-hitting cop thriller, there are a number of clues that there could also be one thing happening 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 good Kristen Stewart-led monster film “Underwater”). For one more, the movie’s official synopsis appears to trace at some shady enterprise happening beneath the floor:
“Jake resolves to go rogue and companions with ‘Socks,’ a violent Ok-9 with titanium incisors and a mysterious previous. Jake and Socks goal to uncover an enormous conspiracy that has a chokehold on 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 “Ok-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 at all times welcome (and at all times badass) Stephen Lang. My guess is that there will likely be loads to chew on when “Muzzle” drops in theaters and VOD on September 29, 2023.
