“The Bad Shepherd” is a 2025 film directed by Geo Santini, featuring the likes of Christos Kalabogias as Paul, Scotty Tovar as John, Justin Taite as Leonard, Brett Zimmerman as Travis, and more. The film follows the story of four friends on a hunting trip whose life changes when they run over a wounded woman carrying a bag full of money.

The Bad Shepherd (2024) Plot Summary & Movie Synopsis: What Did John and His Friends Find on the Road?

“The Bad Shepherd” opens with a distressed woman driving through a remote wilderness when her car suddenly blows a tire. Unable to fix it, she decides to continue her journey on foot. However, just minutes after walking, she is accidentally hit by a passing car. The four men inside the car, Paul, Joh, Leonard, and Travis rush out to help. But it’s too late as the woman has already died. Near her body,...

Hulu is home to The Bad Shepherd, a wildly divisive new thriller that is dominating the streaming chart. The indie film failed to overly impress audiences last year, garnering a rotten 39% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, that has not stopped subscribers from checking out The Bad Shepherd, which has an exciting premise that answers the question we've all wondered at some point — What would you and your friends do if you came across a bag full of money?

The Bad Shepherd is currently ranked second in Hulu's most-watched movies list (via Flix Patrol). The film follows a group of friends on a hunting trip who accidentally run over an armed woman with a bag full of money. As the trailer suggests, they decide to try to keep the money and get rid of the body, but what later ensues puts their lives in jeopardy in the snowy wilderness. The...

At the end of September, JoBlo Media and Octane Multimedia teamed up to launch a new YouTube channel named JoBlo TV, which hosts multiple feature films to watch for free throughout the week. The genres we’ll be focusing on at JoBlo TV are Action, Horror, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Thrillers – and the free movies we shared this week really delivered the thrills!

This week’s line-up consisted of the sci-fi thriller Loophole, the crime thriller The Beast, and the sci-fi horror film Interpreters. Here’s some information on each of them:

Starring Chloe Lukasiak, who is best known for appearing as herself on many episodes of the reality TV series Dance Moms, Loophole was directed by Jenni Ivers and tells the following story: The future of humanity hangs in the balance, as both sides race against time to find the bloodline of Judas Iscariot. When Lexi Smith, a simple college student,...

Now available on Paramount+, Brian Helgeland's crime thriller Finestkind polarized audiences and critics upon release in December 2023. Popular Hollywood starlet Jenna Ortega stars in the film as Mabel, a petty drug dealer who meets a group of shipwrecked fishermen and drives a wedge between estranged half-brothers Tom (Ben Foster) and Charlie (Toby Wallace).

Although the film has fared better among general audiences and casual moviegoers than professional film critics, both groups cite similar reasons for its divisive detractors. Ortega fans on the fence about giving Finestkind a chance should prepare for excellent performances and a compelling family tale lost in a sea of confounding melodramatic storytelling and tonal inconsistencies.

Qed International has acquired global sales rights to Latinx and LGBTQ+ thriller The Low End Theory featuring Sidney Flanigan, the award-winning star of acclaimed independent drama Never Rarely Sometimes Always.

Francisco Ordoñez’s film stars Sofia Yepes as a military veteran and aspiring hip-hop producer who launders money for a dangerous drug dealer and falls for a singer portrayed by Flanigan, who won the New York Film Critics Circle best actress and National Board of Review breakthrough performance awards in 2021.

Ser Anzoategui, Rene Rosado, Eddie Martinez, Scotty Tovar, and Ricky Russert also star in the English- and Spanish-language film, which...

Seaglass Talent Management, the new venture founded recently by Heather Henderson, has acquired the Actors Talent Management Division of Kontakto, a boutique company focused primarily on Latinx talent, led by Isabel Echeverry. Henderson most recently served as Head of Talent Management at Kontakto, before launching Seaglass earlier this month.

Seaglass Talent is expanding its roster with several actors that Henderson originally signed under Kontakto, including Brent David Fraser (David Lynch’s Wild at Heart), Justin Berti (Samuel Goldwyn’s Divorce Bait), Robyn Cruze (Endemol’s Big Sky), and Amber Pickens (Netflix’s Passing).

Under the acquisition, Kontakto’s roster of talent now represented by SeaGlass includes Marc Clotet (The Sleeping Voice on Prime), Kiley Opsal (A Race Against Time), Jessica Caban (Jane the Virgin), Nicole Santamaria (Netflix’s Griselda), Eddie Martinez (Blumhouse’s NightSwim), Adriana Martinez (Max’s Duster), Liana Mendoza (Mothers & Daughters), Rocio Ibarra, Doreen Calderon (Paramount+’s Fatal Attraction), among others.

Seaglass Talent and Kontakto also have teamed as Executive Producers on features The Low End Theory, a Latinx Lgbtqa film noir in post starring Sidney Flanagan, Ricky Russet, Eddie Martinez, Scotty Tovar, Sofia Yepes and Rene Rosado, as well as two Groucho Marx features with Jade Marx in development.

Echeverry will continue to concentrate exclusively on representing global directors in the advertising industry as well as develop and produce a distinctive slate of film and television projects most notably, Bella thriller, The Black List 2022, with producing partners The Hayes Brothers.

Finestkind features a star-studded cast, including an Emmy nominee and Academy Award winner, bringing familiar faces and talent to the crime thriller drama. The film follows two brothers who turn to a Boston crime syndicate to pay off their debt, leading to unexpected conflict and trouble. The four central characters in the movie are Tom, Charlie, Mabel, and Ray, portrayed by Ben Foster, Toby Wallace, Jenna Ortega, and Tommy Lee Jones, respectively.

Finestkind features a cast comprised of an Emmy Award nominee, an Academy Award winner, a Critics' Choice Award nominee, and plenty of other familiar faces (and a handful of new ones). The 2023 crime thriller drama was directed and written by Brian Helgeland, most known for L.A. Confidential, Mystic River, and 42. The film tells the story of two brothers who work as fishermen in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and are unexpectedly forced to get involved with a Boston crime syndicate to pay a debt.

Hollywood is overflowing with stories about films that took years of blood, sweat and tears to bring to the screen. Brian Helgeland’s Finestkind represents one of the longest kinds.

The Oscar-winning screenwriter of Mystic River and veteran director of such films as Legend, 42, A Knight’s Tale and Payback finished the script when he was 28. He’s now 62. “The joke is that I wrote it before Toby Wallace and Jenna Ortega were born and Ben Foster was 10 years old. It’s very strange, but everything happens for a reason. I just had to wait for this whole cast to grow up so I could cast them,” he explained at the film’s West Hollywood premiere on Tuesday referring to his actors who star opposite Tommy Lee Jones, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Aaron Stanford, Scotty Tovar, Tim Daly, Lolita Davidovich and Clayne Crawford.

Finestkind, which hits Paramount+ on Dec. 15, tells the...

"You live. You die. It's the inbetween that counts." Paramount+ has unveiled the official trailer for a fishing industry crime thriller called Finestkind, the latest from writer / filmmaker Brian Helgeland. This premiered at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival last month, and is being released directly on streaming on Paramount+ in December this year. Ben Foster, Toby Wallace, Tommy Lee Jones, and Jenna Ortega star in this film about a crew of fishermen who tread dangerous waters after their debts start piling up. Set against the backdrop of commercial fishing, the story takes on primal stakes when desperate circumstances force the brothers to strike a deal with a violent Boston crime gang. With another brilliantly imposing performance by Jones, the film also reveals itself to be a story about fathers who can’t always be the best examples for their sons. The full cast includes Ismael Cruz Cordova, Aaron Stanford, Scotty Tovar,...

Tommy Lee Jones has yet to anchor a series in Taylor Sheridan’s vast TV universe — but at least he’s starring in an upcoming film from the producer, the crime drama “Finestkind.” You can watch the brand-new trailer for the Paramount+ film above.

In “Finestkind,” Jones plays the father of two sons who were raised in very different worlds (Ben Foster and Toby Wallace), who reunite over a fateful summer, first putting their father’s fishing boat in jeopardy and then embarking into even more dangerous waters.

According to the official synopsis, the movie is “set against the backdrop of commercial fishing, the story takes on primal stakes when desperate circumstances force the brothers to strike a deal with a violent Boston crime gang.”

The movie also stars Jenna Ortega, Cruz Cordova, Aaron Stanford, Scotty Tovar, Tim Daly, Lolita Davidovich and Clayne Crawford. Fun fact: an earlier iteration of...

Jenna Ortega is being swept up in the current of crime for Brian Helgeland’s crime family drama “Finestkind.”

The “Wednesday” breakout star’s latest role is opposite Ben Foster, Toby Wallace, and Tommy Lee Jones who play a family of commercial fishermen that strike a deal with the Boston mob. “Finestkind” premiered at TIFF. Check out the IndieWire review from TIFF here.

The official synopsis reads: Written and directed by Helgeland, “Finestkind” tells the story of two brothers, played by Foster and Wallace, raised in different worlds, who are reunited as adults over a fateful summer. Set against the backdrop of commercial fishing, the story takes on primal stakes when desperate circumstances force the brothers to strike a deal with a violent Boston crime gang. Along the way a young woman (Ortega) finds herself caught perilously in the middle. Sacrifices must be made and bonds between brothers, friends, lovers,...

We’ve got dadcore porn here. If you’re a father and you’ve ever wondered if you led your son astray, you could live vicariously through Ray Eldridge (Tommy Lee Jones) and Dennis Sykes (Tim Daly) and know you can always come through at the eleventh hour. Because even though the motto at the heart of Brian Helgeland’s Finestkind is that the time between birth and death is what truly matters, the film reminds us you can actually right all your wrongs from that in-between with a final expression of love. Apology, hug, pile of cash, bullet, or all the above.

It’s funny that Helgeland joked before the screening that this should have been his first film since he knew its world best (he was a commercial fisherman before stumbling upon a book that taught him film schools existed) because it’s all over the place in tone,...

For an hour, Finestkind is the kind of movie they don’t make any more, and just when you’re starting to adapt to its gentle, circadian rhythms (which is about halfway through), it becomes the kind of movie they make all the time. Though it just about works, it’s a curious hybrid of emotional felladrama and gangster realism, something writer Brian Helgeland has essayed before, notably with his script for Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River. A few years back, this could have been a Malpaso production too, and it’s not hard to imagine Eastwood in the role played here by Tommy Lee Jones, an awards-friendly supporting role that gives the veteran actor his very own mini-Gran Torino.

It opens in Buzzards Bay, the port in Boston’s New Bedford area, where middle-aged sea captain Tom (Ben Foster) is making plans for a fishing trip on his company’s boat,...

Exclusive: We’re getting an exclusive first look at Paramount+’s Finestkind from Oscar winner Brian Helgeland, starring Jenna Ortega, Tommy Lee Jones, Ben Foster and Toby Wallace, ahead of its premiere Friday at the Toronto Film Festival. The film is set for a November premiere exclusively on Paramount+.

Written and directed by Helgeland, Finestkind tells the story of two brothers (Foster & Wallace), raised in different worlds, who are reunited as adults over a fateful summer. Set against the backdrop of commercial fishing, the story takes on primal stakes when desperate circumstances force the brothers to strike a deal with a violent Boston crime gang. Along the way a young woman (Ortega) finds herself caught perilously in the middle. Sacrifices must be made and bonds between brothers, friends, lovers, and a father (Jones) and his son are put to the ultimate test.

“Finestkind is populated with characters I once knew.

Exclusive: Beau Bridges (Dreamin’ Wild), Jessica Parker Kennedy (The Flash), Bruce Davison (1923) and Miguel Gabriel (Puss in Boots: The Last Wish) will topline Camera, an indie drama from award-winning filmmaker Jay Silverman (Saving Paradise), which has wrapped production.

Pic tells the story of Oscar (Gabriel), a nine-year-old boy who is unable to speak, watching as he struggles to adapt to the small fishing town where he has just moved with his widowed, hard-working mother Evelyn (Kennedy). Brought together by a broken film format camera, an unlikely friendship is formed between Oscar and a kind repair shop owner, Eric (Bridges).

With the local fishing industry in decline, the townspeople where Oscar and Evelyn now live become fiercely divided as to whether or not to stake their futures on building a luxury hotel – which will surely bring in new jobs — or fight to keep things the way they have been there for generations.

Exclusive: Pete Gardner (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) will star alongside Zachary Levi, Zooey Deschanel, Lil Rel Howery, Ravi Patel, Camille Guaty and Tanya Reynolds in Sony Pictures’ live-action adaptation of Harold and the Purple Crayon, which has wrapped production.

The film from Oscar-nominated director Carlos Saldanha (Ferdinand) is based on the 1955 children’s book by Crockett Johnson, which follows Harold—a curious four-year-old who, with his purple crayon, has the power to create a world of his own. David Guion and Michael Handelman (Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb) adapted the screenplay, with John Davis (Dolemite Is My Name) producing through Davis Entertainment. The film is currently in post-production and is slated for release in theaters on January 27, 2023.

Gardner is perhaps best known for his turn as Darryl Whitefeather—the overly-friendly boss of Rachel Bloom’s Rebecca—on The CW’s Emmy-winning musical comedy series, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. The actor has...

Set in America’s biggest commercial fishing port of New Bedford, Massachusetts, Finestkind tells the story of two brothers (Foster and Wallace) from opposite sides of the tracks, who are reunited as adults over one fateful summer. When desperate circumstances force them to strike a deal with a dangerous Boston crime syndicate, a young woman (Ortega) finds herself caught in the middle. Along the way, sacrifices must be made, and bonds between brothers, friends, and a father (Jones) and his son are put to the test. Andrade plays Anne Marie, a great mom and loving wife to Cordova’s fisherman,...

TV show description:

A dramatic series, The Mosquito Coast TV show was developed by Neil Cross and Tom Bissell and is based on the 1981 novel of the same name by Paul Theroux.

The story follows the dangerous journey of a radical idealist and brilliant inventor, Allie Fox (Justin Theroux), and his family -- wife Margot (George), teenage daughter Dina (Polish), and young son Charlie (Bateman).

Allie Fox is a man with a lot of anger to throw around. Like Jackson Pollock using bile instead of paint, the lead of Apple TV Plus’ series “The Mosquito Coast” spreads his rage everywhere — including and especially on the lives of his family, whom he uproots for an adventure in Mexico. Played by Justin Theroux, Allie is a genius inventor who is infuriated by all aspects of American culture, including and especially consumerism, the way our country creates products meant to be indifferently enjoyed then tossed.

What’s surprising, then, about the show that contains Allie is how disposable it feels. Theroux, among the executive producers as well as a star, is working to adapt a novel of the same title by his uncle Paul Theroux; that novel previously was source material for a 1986 Peter Weir film that has many flaws but a clear understanding of Allie Fox’s character.
