The first trailer forCastle Fallsfinds action heroes Dolph Lundgren and Scott Adkins as desperate men willing to do anything to survive. The pair of action movie superstars will do what they do best, punch, kick and growl their way through a fast-paced heist as they join forces to take on a machine-gun wielding gang on the hunt for $3 million in cash.
After decades of neglect, Castle Heights Hospital, a symbol of the city’s segregated past, has been packed with dynamite and is ready to be demolished. No one knows that a gang leader, now in prison, hid the 3 million dollars in cash he stole from his rivals inside the abandoned building. Now, three desperate parties want the money - a blue-collared ex-fighter (Scott Adkins) who finds it while working as part of the demolition crew, a prison guard (Dolph Lundgren) willing to do anything to pay for his daughter’s cancer treatment, and a ruthless gang who claim to be the rightful owners. The demolition charges are set, everyone clears out and the Castle is set to fall in 90 minutes. The clock is ticking. Who will seize the cash … and will they get out alive?
Castle Fallsfinds Dolph Lundgren behind the camera as well as in front of it, working from a script written by Andrew Knauer (The Last Stand). Action movie fans will no doubt get a kick out of seeing the two stars standing side-by-side, with Lundgren throwing his weight around as only he can whilst Adkins once again demonstrates the kind of martial arts flare that has made him the unsung hero of the genre for many years now.Castle Fallslooks like the perfect vehicle for Dolph Lundgren andScott Adkins, putting them at the center of a simple concept that should provide them ample opportunity to show off their specific sets of skills.
