A mysterious figure with a web of connections to terrorist organizations, Horn has a knack for emerging on the scene just as a major operation goes down. The inter-agency task force looking into the case meets with Carter (Jeff Daniels), a veteran CIA contractor who seemingly has his own agenda and Max Archer (Neal McDonough), a fellow FBI agent. The task force links Horn to a prison break in Yemen, a bombing in Nice and a raid in London, but a tangle of contradictory evidence emerges, forcing Clayton to question whether his quarry is a disaffected former military operative\u2014or something far more complicated. Obsessed with discovering the truth, Clayton tracks Horn across the globe as the elusive exsoldier burrows deeper and deeper into a world of shadows and intrigue.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>RIGHTEOUS KILL<\/strong><br \/>\nSeptember 12, 2008<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/smartcine.com\/images\/righteous_kill_still.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\"\/><br \/>\n<\/center><br \/>\n<br \/>\nDirected by:\tJon Avnet<br \/>\nCast:\tRobert De Niro, Al Pacino, Curtis Jackson, Carla Gugino, Donnie Wahlberg, Trilby Glover, Brian Dennehy, John Leguizamo<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAfter 30 years as partners in the pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated Detectives David Fisk and Thomas Cowan should be ready for retirement, but aren\u2019t.  Before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they solved years before.<br \/>\nLike the original murder, the victim is a suspected criminal whose body is found accompanied by a four line poem justifying the killing. When additional crimes take place, it becomes clear the detectives are looking for a serial killer, one who targets criminals that have fallen through the cracks of the judicial system. His mission is to do what the cops can\u2019t do on their own\u2014take the culprits off the streets for good. The similarities between the recent killings and their earlier case raise a nagging question: Did they put the wrong man behind bars?<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>Nothing Like the Holidays<\/strong><br \/>\nNovember 26, 2008<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/smartcine.com\/images\/nothing_like_the_holidays_still.jpg\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\"\/><br \/>\n<\/center><br \/>\n<br \/>\nDirected by: Alfredo de Villa<br \/>\nCast: Freddy Rodriguez, John Leguizamo, Debra Messing, Alfred Molina, Jay Hernandez, Melonie Diaz, Vanessa Ferlito, Luis Guzman, Elizabeth Pe\u00f1a<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIf there\u2019s one thing everyone can agree on, it\u2019s that family time isn\u2019t always a walk in the park. In Nothing Like the Holidays, two of today\u2019s most talented actors, John Leguizamo (The Happening, The Take) and Freddy Rodriguez (\u201cSix Feet Under,\u201d Bobby), join Debra Messing (\u201cWill &#038; Grace,\u201d \u201cThe Starter Wife\u201d), Alfred Molina (The Da Vinci Code, Spider-Man 2), and director Alfredo de Villa (the award-winning Washington Heights) to tell the humorous and heartwarming story of one unforgettable family holiday.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s Christmastime and the far-flung members of the Rodriguez family are converging at their parents\u2019 home in Chicago to celebrate the season and rejoice in their youngest brother\u2019s safe return from combat overseas. For Jesse (Freddy Rodriguez), coming home has rekindled feelings for an old flame, although she can\u2019t seem to forgive him for leaving. His older sister Roxanna, a struggling actress, has been chasing her Hollywood dreams for years with little to show for it. And much to the dismay of their mother Anna (Elizabeth Pe\u00f1a), eldest brother Mauricio (John Leguizamo) brings home a high-powered executive wife (Debra Messing) who would rather raise capital than a child.<br \/>\nIn the course of one eventful week, traditions will be celebrated, secrets revealed and major life decisions made. It all begins when Anna announces to her children she is divorcing their father Eduardo (Alfred Molina). The shock waves from this familial upheaval prompt Roxanna, Mauricio and Jesse, each in their own way, to reevaluate the past and rethink the future. But when the Rodriguezes learn that one of their own is facing a true crisis, they instinctively pull together: Old resentments are forgotten, familial bonds are re-affirmed and the healing power of laughter works its magic as the family discovers they are much stronger than they ever realized.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the lineup that Overture Films have in plans for us this Fall\/Holiday season.
