Joe Carnahan’s ‘Shadow Force’ With Kerry Washington & Omar Sy To Help Kick Off Summer This Year – Box Office
Marvel Studios isn’t the only one with a movie kicking off summer on May 2 with Thunderbolts*: Lionsgate has just added Joe Carnahan’s Shadow Force to that weekend.
The pic starring Kerry Washington and Omar Sy follows the duo who once were the leaders of a multinational special forces group called Shadow Force. They broke the rules by falling in love and go underground in order to protect their son. With a large bounty on their heads, and the vengeful Shadow Force hot on their trail, one family’s fight becomes all-out war. Carnahan co-wrote the script with Leon Chills.
