Anchor Bay have announced the UK DVD and Blu-Ray releases of 'The Killing Machine' (AKA 'Icarus') for the 16th August, 2010. Directed by and starring Dolph Lundgren, the film is an edgy, independent action movie that is packed full of extended gunfire, explosions, and an impressive body count.
Synopsis
To his friends, family and colleagues, Edward Genn (Lundgren) is an ordinary man, a divorced father with a steady job working for an investment company. However, to others Genn is known as Icarus, a ruthless killing machine and former US sleeper agent once based in the Soviet Empire. Determined to break away and leave his dark past behind, Genn has started over with a new identity, but he soon learns you can only escape your past for so long.
When an unexpected incident in Hong Kong results in Icarus’ cover being blown, past and present collide and the one-time assassin realizes he is now the target. Worse, the people that want him dead will stop at nothing to get to him and that means going after those he cares about most—his wife and daughter.
With his life at stake, Icarus is forced to face the demons of his past in order to protect the loved ones in his present. He must fight to save the only thing he’s ever done right in his life by uncovering those who are after him and protecting his family before it’s too late.
Artwork and trailer are below, and you can preorder both versions now from Amazon.co.uk.
