"If you knew what I knew, would you stop me...?" Vertical has revealed an official trailer for a crime thriller revenge film titled The Bastard Sons, arriving to watch on VOD this week. If anyone cares to watch. The film marks the feature directorial debut of actor / writer Kevin Interdonato, who stars in, co-wrote, and produced this film in addition to directing. A misfit crew of small-town gangsters in New Jerseey enact brutal vengeance after an inside job ends in the murder of the head of their crime family, their Boss. They wage a brutal war to regain control of the business and get their pound of flesh. Kevin Interdonato stars along with Charles Malik Whitfield, Frankie Edgar, Joseph Sernio, and Kirk Ponton. This looks as mediocre as any movie can, featuring bad cinematography and even worse performances spun around a plot we've seen 100 times before. Cutting a silent trailer...

Screen Rant is pleased to present an exclusive first look at the trailer for The Bastard Sons, which is set to release in July. The indie crime thriller has been acquired by Cranked Up Films, which serves as the genre arm of indie distributor Good Deed Entertainment. Not only is it a tantalizing revenge thriller in its own right, it is also the feature directorial debut of actor Kevin Interdonato (who played Dogsy on The Sopranos).

The Bastard Sons centers on an organized crime group in New Jersey and the fallout of their boss being murdered. His son Vincent (played by Interdonato himself) takes it upon himself to get "the bastard sons" back together in order to take out the villain. As they attempt to get justice for the death of a loved one, they must contend with the dangerous criminal underworld in which they were raised and the demons it brings with it.

(Interviews by Tim Appello, Matt Donnelly, Itay Hod, Joseph Anthony Kapsch and Steve Pond) If you want to talk about the breakout hits of the 2014-2015 television season, there’s really only one place to start: “Empire.” The deliciously soapy music-business drama, which mixes catfights with social commentary in its portrayal of a hip-hop mogul and his extended family, is the highest-rated scripted program of the year and the first series in more than two decades to see its viewership increase for each of its first five episodes; it also scored the top-rated season finale for any new series since “Grey’s.

Indie Spotlight Review: Nobody Can Cool

by Heather Wixson

A gritty and engaging tale of deceit, violence and desperation, Nobody Can Cool is anchored by a breakout performance by Nick Principe (best known from his work in the Laid to Rest series, Madison County and...
