The Dark Knight Rises made over $1 billion at the box office, but living up to The Dark Knight was a huge challenge. That movie is often called one of the best American films of the 21st century, so expectations were sky-high.

One big issue for fans was that Batman spends most of the film injured, dealing with a broken back and a bad knee. While Bruce Wayne’s struggle to recover and fight again is a classic Batman story, many viewers felt it didn’t work well on screen. After all, a Batman movie where Batman isn’t really Batman for most of the time feels strange, unless the focus is on the Joker, maybe.

Christopher Nolan, the director, was well aware of the shadow The Dark Knight cast. In fact, he hesitated to even make a third film. When he finally decided to complete the trilogy, Nolan chose to...

The Dark Knight Rises is probably one of the most talked-about billion-dollar movies ever made—right up there with Avatar. It made over $1 billion at the box office, but it faced huge challenges living up to The Dark Knight, which is often called one of the best American films of the 21st century. One big reason some fans had mixed feelings was that Batman himself spends most of the movie dealing with injuries like a broken back or a bad knee.

While Bruce Wayne’s struggle to heal and fight is a classic part of Batman’s story, many felt it didn’t work well on screen. After all, a Batman movie where Batman is mostly sidelined feels off, unless it’s all about the Joker, maybe.

Christopher Nolan, the director, knew how hard it would be to follow The Dark Knight. He even hesitated to make a third film.

Trouble Man, the latest Michael Jai White action film, recently made its way out into the world, getting a theatrical, digital, and VOD release last Friday (it’s available to watch on Amazon at This Link). To celebrate the occasion, we’re proud to share an Exclusive clip from the film that shows White’s character taking down a pair of gangsters. Check it out in the embed above!

Directed by White from a screenplay by Michael Stradford, Trouble Man is an action-packed thriller with the following synopsis: Jaxen, a former cop turned Atlanta Pi, is hired to find missing R&b star Jahari. His investigation uncovers her disappearance is connected to a larger conspiracy, forcing him to question those around him and his own past. White plays Jaxen and is joined in the cast by Cliff “Method Man” Smith, Alani “La La” Anthony, Mike Epps, Orlando Jones, Noah Fleder,...

Michael Jai White’s Trouble Man introduces Jaxen, a private investigator who feels like a figure teleported directly from 1970s cinema into the streets of modern Atlanta. He is a man of quiet confidence, immense physical capability, and a clear moral code, an archetype familiar to global audiences yet distinctly rooted in American cultural history.

The film begins with a premise that could be pulled from any classic detective novel: a beautiful R&b singer has vanished, and her powerful record executive boss wants her found. This simple assignment quickly pulls Jaxen into a world of street gangs, corporate deceit, and personal vendettas.

The film operates as an affectionate revival of the blaxploitation genre, playing its conventions with sincerity and a self-aware charm. It avoids the path of parody, choosing instead to present a straightforward, modern chapter in a long-standing cinematic tradition. The movie invites the audience to appreciate its...

Michael Jai White has been in a lot of film and TV projects over the last 35 years or so. But probably most beloved amongst his fans is “Black Dynamite,” the 2009 sendup of 1970s blaxploitation movies he conceived, co-wrote and starred in. That it remains a favorite for him too is made obvious by “Trouble Man,” which isn’t a spoof but a relatively straight-faced replay of that vintage genre’s conventions, with White (also directing now) as the supercool hero constantly besting bad guys via martial arts and gunplay, while simultaneously fending off the attentions of various beautiful women.

Bearing no formal relation to the actual 1972 blaxploitation feature of the same title, which is best remembered for its Marvin Gaye score, White’s “Trouble Man” is full of such winking references to vintage African-American pop culture. But referentiality is as far as this semi-tongue-in-cheek endeavor goes; it does a lot...

Tyler Perry may not be the most consistent director in terms of critical reception, but he has had an incredibly impressive rate of production. A multi-hyphenate talent who has served as producer, writer, director, and actor — and sometimes all on the same project — he has an impressive filmography that mostly includes comedies.

Perry is best known for his work on the Madea franchise. This began with the character's appearance in The Diary of A Mad Black Woman, a 2005 film that Perry wrote and acted in. Most recently, that franchise continued with the 2025 Netflix release Madea's Destination Wedding.

Perry's output has been even more prominent in the last few years because of his deal with Netflix. The streamer formed this multi-year partnership with Perry in October 2023, which would allow Perry to produce multiple movies for the streamer.

This deal has been pretty successful for the creator. His movie Straw, which came out this year,...

Tyler Perry is asking, “Why did I get married again?”

To clarify, the movie mogul isn’t actually wed, but he’s finished the script for the long-awaited third movie in the “Why Did I Get Married?” franchise, which has been rumored to continue in recent years.

On Wednesday, Perry posted the cover page of the “table draft” version of the script for the movie, seemingly titled “Why Did I Get Married Again?” with the caption “I’m just gonna sit this right here!” He also conspicuously tagged the franchise’s main cast: Tasha Smith, Sharon Leal, Michael Jai White, Lamman Rucker, Jill Scott and Janet Jackson. Perry also stars as one of the eight college friends who wrestle with challenges in their marriage during their annual reunion.

Scott Adkins takes his high-flying kicks and is forced to use them the fighting ring again, but it turns out to be in an unlikely place… at a Pow camp behind enemy lines during World War II. The action star developed the story for Prisoner of War, which was previously called Death March. Independent distributor, Well Go USA, picked up the rights for the film and has now released the trailer. Adkins is likely best known for his character Yuri Boyka from the Undisputed sequels, but the martial artist has also popped up in films like Doctor Strange and John Wick: Chapter 4.

Adkins’ story was penned by scribe Marc Clebanoff. In the story, per Variety, “a British airman washes ashore after being ejected from his plane and becomes a prisoner in a Japanese-run Pow camp. While waiting to join the infamous Bataan death march, the airman is tortured by the...

"I just needed a safe space to work through my feelings." Quiver has unveiled the full trailer for an action comedy titled Hostile Takeover, another of these dime-a-dozen junk action flicks. It's heading to VOD in August in a few weeks if anyone wants to give it a go. The movie is about Pete, a professional hitman, who faces a group of assassins when a crime syndicate boss suspects disloyalty because he goes to "Workaholics Anonymous" meetings. Michael Jai White stars at hitman Pete Strykyr, along with Aimee Stolte, Aleks Paunovic, and Dawn Olivieri. Hostile Takeover is described as a "hyper-stylized, kinetic thrill ride full of savage action, mystery and humor. Think John Wick meets Crank, with a dash of Burn After Reading – a brutal, wildly entertaining examination of burnout, betrayal & what happens when the city's most efficient killer decides to find a littler inner peace... and ends up starting a war.

Nice Days. Deadlier Nights. The world’s deadliest besties are back. The third outing in one of the best action franchises you’ve never heard of is now getting a release in the United States thanks to Well Go USA. The studio behind the likes of such major hits as Triple Threat starring John Wick’s Scott Adkins, The Raid’s Iko Uwais, Ong Bak’s Tony Jaa, and The Dark Knight star Michael Jai White, the zombie classic Train to Busan, and Donnie Yen’s Ip Man series, Well Go USA is now all set to deliver another criminally unsung martial arts masterpiece to North America.

Despite displaying a particular set of skills that would make even Liam Neeson quake in his boots and possessing the kind of charisma that the best action heroes are made of, Michael Jai White somehow remains one of the most underrated actors in the genre. Until he is given the high-profile role he has long-deserved, the actor and martial artist is back to doing what he does best – looking for trouble – in the trailer for his latest action outing.

Best recognized for roles in the likes of The Dark Knight, Spawn, Blood and Bone, Never Back Down, Black Dynamite, Arrow, and many more, Michael Jai White takes the lead in Trouble Man! which finds the action star fighting his way through baddies while attempting to find a missing R&b star.

White took to social media to share the trailer, with the actor saying, “Get ready y’all! Here’s...

“One-man army” films are in vogue right now, but this is not a new trend. When Westerns were at the peak of their popularity, you had several stories of a highly trained gunslinger who had been wronged in some way out for blood, with actors like Clint Eastwood and John Wayne at the helm. Back in the ‘80s and the ‘90s, action stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, and Jean-Claude Van Damme would headline movies about a guy who was out to get revenge for personal, professional, or nationalistic reasons. And while mainstream cinema refused to use such narratives for a while until Keanu Reeves became John Wick, that trend was kept alive in the direct-to-video releases by immensely talented artists like Scott Adkins, Marko Zaror, and Michael Jai White. Recently, well-known faces like Orlando Bloom, Tom Hardy, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, and Jennifer Lopez...

In the past, comic books and superhero movies lacked diversity, but times have changed for the better. Now, there’s more diversity in this beloved genre of fiction.

That’s why fans have gathered vote for the top 10 superhero movies that highlight black superheroes. Some results may surprise you, while others were expected.

10. ‘X-Men’ (2000) 20th Century Fox

‘X-Men’ does not center exclusively on a black superhero, but it prominently features Storm, portrayed by Halle Berry. This was a significant moment as Storm is one of the most powerful and prominent black superheroes in the Marvel Universe. She has since become a central figure in the X-Men series, known for her ability to control the weather.

9. ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ (2014) Marvel Studios

‘The Winter Soldier’ doesn’t solely focus on a black superhero, but it did introduce Sam Wilson as Falcon to the MCU. This was a pivotal moment because,...

It can’t be denied that as far as martial arts movies go, the best ones come from Asia, particularly Hong Kong during their action heyday, which was arguably the 70s, 80s and first half of the ’90s. It’s tough to compete with the likes of the Shaw Brothers and the drunken master known as Jackie Chan. That said, martial arts movies were also making a foothold in the States decades ago, thanks mainly to Bruce Lee-mania following the release of Enter the Dragon. Before that movie, very few actors in Hollywood seemed like they were credible martial artists, except maybe James Coburn, a student of Lee’s, who pulled off some pretty good-looking moves in the otherwise silly Our Man Flint movies. Steve McQueen also had training but didn’t use martial arts on screen. Up to then, though, the most notable uses of martial arts in movies usually revolved around Judo,...

Exclusive: Tim Rozon (Schitt’s Creek), Colton Gobbo (Ginny & Georgia), and Jim Belushi (According to Jim) are set to topline Karate Ghost, a new martial arts comedy from director James Mark that has just recently entered production in Toronto.

Set in a town ruled by absurd karate law, the film watches as a lonely teen forms an unlikely bond with the ghost of his late father’s favorite action hero. What begins as a haunted mentorship quickly escalates into a fight for identity, legacy, and redemption. Rozon leads the cast as Johnny Maim, a washed-up ’90s action star who died tragically mid-stunt now trapped in the afterlife and hungry for one last shot at glory, with Gobbo playing grieving 15-year-old Bobby Brody.

The film is the latest for mark on the heels of films including sci-fi actioner Fight Another Day, sci-fi thriller Control, sci-fi actioner Enhanced, actioner On the Ropes, and sci-fi actioner Kill Order.

Throughout humanity's long, sad, and seemingly endless history of making war, there has existed a naggingly evergreen question about making the perfect soldier. In a pre-technological age, this question was largely psychological, yet the advent of advanced tech started to open up more possibilities, as well as lead to more dead-ends. To wit: while fully replacing human soldiers with robots would initially seem ingenious, it could also lead to things like malfunctions and the absence of human reasoning and ingenuity. Yet a robot, loaded with a pre-made algorithm, doesn't need to be retrained, and isn't susceptible to the many vulnerabilities a human being is. Surely, there must be a way to combine the two.

Roland Emmerich's 1992 sci-fi action film "Universal Soldier" took this recurring military frustration and turned it into thoughtful genre entertainment. Although Emmerich and his writers (with his old filmmaking partner Dean Devlin chief among them) knew...

Exclusive: Malin Akerman (Watchmen) and Michael Jai White (The Dark Knight) are set to lead spy thriller Spymasters from writer-director Lance Kawas.

Bleiberg Entertainment has boarded worldwide rights to the film ahead of the Cannes market with filming due to begin in the U.S. at the end of the summer.

Described as a throwback to the “high-stakes erotic thrillers of the ’90s, coupled with modern action and intensity”, the film centers on a CIA operative assigned by his boss (White) to surveil and possibly eliminate a former lover (Akerman), a dangerous and enigmatic figure within the agency known for her psychological prowess and covert influence over the world’s elite.

Pic is produced by Asif Akbar, Colin Bates, Jon Keeyes, Demetrius Stear, Mandi Murro, and Lance Kawas for Whispered Insanity the Movie, LLC, with executive production by Fadi Assaf for FilmLens. Ehud Bleiberg, Ariel Bleiberg and Nicholas Bennett from...

Not long after one of Frank Grillo’s more recent movies climbed to the top of streaming charts, he has another movie following the same model. Grillo stars alongside Michael Jai White (The Dark Knight) in Mr-9: Do or Die, the 2023 espionage thriller following an elite Bangladesh spy who teams up with a CIA operative to bring down an international crime syndicate. Mr-9: Do or Die began streaming on Starz not long ago, and the film has wasted no time becoming one of the more popular movies on the platform, sitting at #9 at the time of writing. Mr-9: Do or Die received an extremely limited theatrical release two years ago, grossing less than $500,000 globally, and the film earned a 61% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

Grillo has been acting for more than 30 years now, but his first major role came from starring alongside Liam Neeson in The Grey, the 2011 survival thriller from Joe Carnahan.

Samuel Goldwyn Films continues to move into larger, action-oriented films and has picked up US rights from Millennium Media to the fantasy action title Red Sonja starring Matilda Lutz.

M.J. Bassett directed from a screenplay by Tasha Huo. Adapted from the comic book series currently published by Dynamite Entertainment, the film follows the titular character as she battles her way through the blood-soaked pits of a tyrant’s empire and rallies an army of outcasts to reclaim her freedom and take down Dragan and his ruthless bride, Dark Annisia.

The cast includes Robert Sheehan, Wallis Day, Martyn Ford, and Michael Bisping,...

Marshmallow, the upcoming horror film coming to theaters next month, just got an exciting new look. Collider is happy to partner with Hemlock Circle Productions to unveil a new sneak peek at Marshmallow, which shows Morgan (Kue Lawrence) coming into the cabin to warn Franklin (Maxwell Whittington-Cooper) and Rachel (Giorgia Whigham) that someone is inside his room. The two clearly don’t believe him, and then Lauri (Samantha Neyland Trumbo) and Kaszwar (Pierson Fode) stumble in and are accused of planting this story in his head. Marshmallow shows what happens when a once-fabled campfire tale becomes real, and a group of campers discovers something that forces them to question their very existence. The film is coming to select theaters on April 11, and it promises to be one of the more intriguing horror movies of the year.

Marshmallow star Giorgia Whigham is best known for her role as Chrissy in Sierra Burgess is a Loser,...

Tubi has been stepping up their game with horror originals in recent years, with films including Slay, Killer Body Count and Lowlifes all being worth your time. And the free streaming service is kicking off the new year with another fresh Tubi original horror movie that’s worth a watch, with the home invasion horror-comedy Don’t Mess With Grandma now streaming.

Don’t Mess With Grandma premiered at Fright Fest last year, and Bloody Disgusting’s own Trace Thurman called it “another solid product from the consistently surprising Tubi.”

Trace’s review continued, “Leaning into heartfelt sincerity, hilariously awkward confrontations and plenty of violence, [it’s] an enjoyable crowd-pleaser that’s sure to earn plenty of laughs.”

From director Jason Krawczyk (He Never Died), Don’t Mess With Grandma slashes into home invasion tropes with a subversive sense of humor, with the cast including Michael Jai White, Jackie Richardson, Billy Zane, Miles Faber, and Ess Hödlmoser.

Mickey Rourke has made some bad movies, but one of his worst rated films is finding some unexpected love after climbing up the Starz streaming chart. In fact, only the mighty presence of Spider-Man: No Way Home and Venom: Let There Be Carnage has kept the universally panned The Commando off the top spot.

Released in 2022, The Commando is described as an “edge-of-the-seat” action thriller, which sees an elite DEA agent – played by Michael Jai White – discover that there is a stash of $3 million hidden away in his home, and a newly released criminal (Rourke) and his violent gang want it back. It sounds like a cliché, walks like a cliché, talks like a cliché, and surprisingly was buried under a pile of cliché-filled, appalling reviews.

Action movies need to deliver fist-fights, car chases, explosions and link them all together with a story that makes only the barest of logical sense.

Recently, the DC Universe — DC Comics' newly retooled cinematic universe — officially came to life with the edgy adult cartoon Creature Commandos. Despite starring DC characters who most people have never even heard of, the series was such a well-made success that its second season was greenlit almost as soon as the first season finale aired. With Creature Commandos Season 2 still a long way off, fans have no other choice but to look to other adult cartoons to pass the time.

Enter Black Dynamite, Adult Swim's animated adaptation of the cult parody movie of the same name from roughly a decade ago. At first glance, Creature Commandos and Black Dynamite have next to nothing in common, let alone crossover appeal between their respective target audiences. After all, one is based on a superhero team's comics, and the other is a parody of the '70s. However, the opposite couldn't be more true.
