After watching Eron Eckhart’s Muzzle, I thought the actor was done and wouldn’t get any good movies like he used to get in his prime. However, after watching Rumble Through the Dark, I fell in love with his craft again. Eckhart had done action movies, but nothing came even close to his latest film. The film is raw and convincing, and you can’t help but feel his pain and the things he’s going through. Eckhart stepped into the shoes of Jack Boucher, a man drowning in debt.

"You still fight?" Lionsgate has unveiled the official trailer for an action thriller called Rumble Through the Dark, another of these direct-to-vod releases coming up this fall. It's getting a one week run before being available to watch at home in November. Adapted from the novel titled The Fighter by Michael Farris Smith (but of course that movie title was taken by the Christian Bale boxing movie The Fighter from 2010). In the dark landscape of the Mississippi Delta, a bare knuckle cage fighter seeks to repay his debts in a final, desperate attempt to salvage the family home of his dying foster mother. Starring Aaron Eckhart as Jack Boucher, with Bella Thorne, Ritchie Coster, Amanda Saunders, Joe Hursley, Mike McColl, Derek Russo, Christopher Winchester, and Marianne Jean-Baptiste. This looks stylish and brutal, though not that memorable, the same story we've seen in so many other fighting films. At least Eckhart looks good.
