In Back to Business, director JoJo Eusebio, renowned for his expertise in coordinating stunts in iconic action films, signs his first feature film. This action thriller stars Ke Huy Quan, who recently won an Oscar for Everything Everywhere All at Once, as a seemingly ordinary real estate agent with a past full of secrets. He is joined by Ariana DeBose(West Side Story, Argylle) and Daniel Wu(Tomb Raider, Warcraft) in an adventure of revenge, broken loyalties and tough confrontations. In a hard-hitting style inspired by productions like Nobody or Bullet Train, this film promises to combine spectacular action scenes with an intense plot, bringing to life a dangerous past that Marvin, the main character, thought he'd left behind.
Back to Business will be shown in cinemas soon.
Synopsis: Try as you might, you can't break with the past. Marvin Gable, a real estate agent in suburban Milwaukee, finds his life turned upside down when he receives a red envelope signed by Rose, a former collaborator he thought dead. What follows is a hunt led by ruthless killers, including his own brother Knuckles, that will force him to face up to the mistakes of his past.
Back to Business will appeal to fans of intense action, especially those who appreciate films where the boundary between past and present is blurred, such as John Wick or Nobody. Ke Huy Quan plays a vulnerable and endearing hero, but one capable of facing the most extreme situations, which could appeal to viewers looking for deep characters full of paradoxes. Fans of revenge plots and family tensions will find here themes dear to the genre. Finally, for fans of stunts and choreographed fights, the touch of JoJo Eusebio, a specialist in action scenes from films such as Black Panther and Deadpool 2, adds a dose of authenticity and dynamism to each scene.
Back to Business marks a turning point in the career of JoJo Eusebio, who moves from stunt coordinator to director. His mastery of action scenes, combined with a diverse cast featuring talents such as former American soccer champion Marshawn Lynch and Sean Astin(Lord of the Rings), adds an eclectic touch to the film. Produced by 87North, known for its innovative action films, the feature could offer an experience both spectacular and entertaining.
With Back to Business, Ke Huy Quan steps away from classic roles to embody a character in search of redemption, in a world where action and betrayal reign supreme. JoJo Eusebio, with his expertise in action choreography, promises a debut feature with impressive scenes and breathtaking suspense. This film promises to be a must-see for fans of modern action films where the tension is at its highest, with landmark references such as John Wick and Atomic Blonde.
