1984's The Pope of Greenwich Village saw two young actors
explode onto the screen in Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts. Now
four decades later they're reuniting for writer/director Aziz Tazi's
prison thriller Night Walk.
The film is centred on Sean Stone, who plays a man falsely
imprisoned for the murder of his girlfriend. Desperate to escape and expose
the truth, he teams up with a dangerous prison gang.
Night Walk is on US DVD/VOD from June 15th. A UK/ROI release
has yet to be announced.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Mickey Rourke stars in this gritty action-thriller about one man’s quest for justice. It starts as Frank, an American, visits the Middle East with his girlfriend, Sarah. But when Sarah is killed in a police incident, Frank is framed for her murder and sent to a prison in the U.S. Then, after uncovering the conspiracy that led to Frank’s sentence, his friend dies mysteriously. Now, seeking bloody justice, Frank plans to escape from prison – but must partner with a dangerous gang to do so.
