The Father: Donnie Yen, Alec Baldwin, Frank Grillo in Action-Thriller
Guess the traditional 80s action film isn't dead after all as stars Donnie Yen, Alec Baldwin, and Frank Grillo are in the new action-thriller The Father, according to Deadline Hollywood. Described as an "ode to revered action movies of the '80s", the film is set against the Irish-American gangland of South Boston. It charts the struggle of a middle-class Hong Kong immigrant John Chung (Yen), making the best of his family's new American life as a modest fish broker in the city's infamous docklands. When his wayward teenage boys stumble upon four kilos of heroin, they're hunted by a local crime ring and a group of corrupt cops. AGC International will handle international sales with CAA Media Finance handling U.S. distribution rights.

Directed by Tommy Wirkola (Hanel and Gretel: Witch Hunters) and screenplay by P.G.
