“The agency will hunt you to the grave.” Amazon MGM Studios has unveiled an official trailer for an action thriller film titled Canary Black, yet another of these generic, derivative action movies being dumped on video these days. This one is also skipping theaters entirely, and will be streaming on Prime Video starting in October. Does anyone care? Will anyone even watch anyway? From the director of District B13, Taken, From Paris with Love, The Gunman, Peppermint comes a new action film called Canary Black starring Kate Beckinsale. “It’s more than a mission.” It follows CIA operative Avery Graves as she is blackmailed by terrorists into betraying her own country to save her kidnapped husband. She must rely on her cutting-edge training and primitive fighting skills. Of course. This also stars Saffron Burrows, Ray Stevenson (RIP), Rupert Friend, Jaz Hutchins, Goran Kostic, and Ben Mills. This movie looks so exceptionally unoriginal, with the same concept from every other CIA TV show already on TV. This looks worth skipping.
Here’s the official trailer (+ posters) for Pierre Morel’s film Canary Black, direct from YouTube:
A top CIA operative, Avery Graves (Kate Beckinsale), is blackmailed by terrorists into betraying her own country to save her kidnapped husband. Cut off from her team, she turns to her underworld contacts to survive and help locate the coveted intelligence that the kidnappers want. Betrayed at every turn, now she must rely on her cutting-edge training & primitive fighting skills in a deadly race to deliver a ransom that could trigger a global crisis. Canary Black is directed by French action filmmaker Pierre Morel, director of the movies District B13, Taken, From Paris with Love, The Gunman, Peppermint, The Ambush, and Freelance previously. The screenplay is written by Matthew Kennedy. Produced by Jeff Elliott, Carsten H.W. Lorenz, Sébastien Raybaud, Renee Tab, Christopher Tuffin, and John Zois. Amazon MGM Studios will debut Morel’s Canary Black film streaming on Prime Video starting on October 24th, 2024 this fall. Any good?
