Omnibus Entertainment, a specialty label from Film Movement, will be premiering director Dung Luong Dinh’s gritty, high-octane action-thriller 578 Magnum on VOD, Digital, and SVOD through Film Movement Plus on February 23, 2024. Featuring action sequences by Oh Sea Young (Avengers: Age of Ultron), the film, nominated for the Grand Prix Award at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, was selected as Vietnam’s 2023 official Oscar Entry for Best International Feature.
Award-winning director Dung Luong Dinh makes a 180-degree turn from his two previous films Father and Son and Drowsy City, to deliver a jaw-droppingly breath-taking spectacle of massive fistfights, vigorous chases, sword duels, sharp wounds, and twisty traps. Non-chronological flashbacks offer shocking, gripping, and plausible motivations for frantic anger, savage fury, extreme torture, and an unchained desire to kill. The film stars Alexandre Nguyen, Anh Tuan Hac, Jessica Minh Anh, and H’Hen Niê.
GVN has been provided with an exclusive trailer from the new film ahead of its debut which you can find below:
Synopsis: After leaving the Special Forces, container truck driver and single father Hùng (Alexandre Nguyen) dedicates his life to raising his six-year-old daughter. But when she gets kidnapped and assaulted, Hùng relies on his martial arts training and combat skills to hunt down the twisted millionaire responsible. His mission of vengeance takes him on a journey deep into the Vietnamese underworld, where he faces off against legions of bloodthirsty gangsters working for one of the world’s most dangerous crime syndicates.
