The Killer's Game Has A Killer Set Up
In this new action-comedy, when top hitman Joe Flood (Dave Bautista) is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to take matters into his own hands – by taking a hit out on himself. But when the very hitmen he hired also target his ex-girlfriend (Sofia Boutella), he must fend off an army of assassin colleagues and win back the love of his life before it's too late. Lionsgate presents a Mad Chance & Endurance Media production in association with Dogbone Entertainment, K. Jam Media, and Lipsync.
Here are five new photos from the film as well.

This looks like a winner, and it is about time Dave Bautista got to lead an action film like this. He has proven to be a star, and when you give him a story like this and a cast like this to work with, you should have a hit on your hands. I am also curious to see how McIntyre looks in this, as I believe this is his acting debut.
This could be a sleeper hit for Lionsgate this fall when it opens in theaters on September 13th.
