Synopsis

GRIDLOCKED is a crowd-pleasing action thriller in the tradition of Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. Former SWAT leader David Hendrix is down on his luck and has failed to receive medical clearance after taking a bullet on the job. Despite being highly trained and competent, his efforts have been reduced to routine tasks for the NYPD. As if things couldn't get any worse, he's been forced to babysit Brody Walker, a hard partying celebrity that's been sent on a mandatory ride along as part of his probation.  Pampered and irritating, Walker is the last thing Hendrix needs. But all of that changes when a police training facility comes under attack by a team of ruthless mercenaries led by the mysterious Korver. 

Now, Hendrix and Walker must band together with the remaining survivors to fight back and keep the mercenaries from overtaking the compound.... if they don't kill each other first.

THE MIDNIGHT MAN...A HITMAN WITH A GIFT...A MISSION....A PROBLEM?

WILL KEMP, DOUG JONES AND BRENT SPINER STAR IN A TWISTED BATTLE OF POWER IN

THE MIDNIGHT MAN

On DVD And Digital HD March 1

Starring a powerful ensemble cast of Hollywood’s leading action film stars, including Will Kemp (Van Helsing, TV’s “Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce”), Doug Jones (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth), William Forsythe (Raising Arizona, The Rock), Brent Spiner (Star Trek: The Next Generation), and Vinnie Jones (Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), the hair-raising thriller THE MIDNIGHT MAN arrives on DVD and Digital HD March 1 from Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM).

Making his feature directorial debut, D.C. Hamilton’s THE MIDNIGHT MANfollows a gifted hitman on a grave mission, derailed by losing his greatest physical quality, the inability to feel pain. Co-written and co-produced with cast member Brinna Kelly (The Midnight Monster), the mind-numbing tale pushes audiences to the edge of their seats, feeling fear in a way it has never been felt before.

"We are thrilled to be partnered with Cinedigm for the release of THE MIDNIGHT MAN,” said Hamilton. “They have long been champions for this film and will help it reach its audience in exciting and innovative ways. We always had so much fun with the idea of reverse-engineering the action hero. Brinna and I both enjoy movies that are about colorful characters in a vibrant world. We also enjoy genre-mashups like 'Hot Fuzz,' or 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang' where you've got mystery and action but you're laughing all the way through. So that's what we tried to and we're so excited that audiences will be able to experience it." 

"We're so excited to be able to share Grady and his universe with movie-viewers everywhere,” said Kelly. “On the surface, we set out to make a thrilling, funny action picture, and it can absolutely be taken as such. But, if you choose, within that frame are characters and a deeper story that we hope will resonate with audiences."

When Grady (Kemp), an assassin with a genetic disorder that renders him unable to feel pain, is sent on a high-stakes assignment, his world is turned upside-down after an attack when he awakens to discover that he can feel pain for the first time in his life. With the clock ticking and his greatest asset gone, Grady will go head-to-head with his worst fears and unspeakable enemies, while experiencing a tactile world he never could have imagined.
