Action films are so much fun to watch but also seem such a challenge to work on. It’s interesting to think about all of the car chases, gunfights, fistfights, and explosions that need to be choreographed like a dance. In between all of that directors and screenwriters need to fit in a compelling story. Sometimes it also helps to have a famous action star to further validate the film. Someone like… I don’t know… Bruce Willis? Enter Lionsgate’s new action/thriller, Survive The Game.

In Survive The Game we find two detectives who’s drug bust has gone wrong. In that time, one of them is shot. His partner if forced to leave him behind and go after two of the criminals. They retreat to a farm property out in the country where a US veteran lives. Unfortunately for the detective and the homeowner, the rest of the mob shows up to take them out. Now it is up to them to use all of their skills and surroundings to try and survive.

Survive The Game is directed by James Cullen Bressack based on a screenplay by Ross Peacock. Along with Willis, the film stars Chad Michael Murray, Swen Temmel, Sarah Roemer, and Simon Phillips.
