Handcuffed to a grubby table inside a rundown police station, Rebecca begins to question everything around her. This is where we first meet the character, played compellingly by Abbie Cornish, in the new mystery thriller Detained. Reeling from a night she cannot recall, Rebecca finds herself accused of hit-and-run. However, strange inconsistencies start to emerge the more she learns about her supposed crime. Why is the station seemingly empty? Why has her usual lawyer been replaced? And what really happened in those missing hours?

As Rebecca pieces together fragmented clues, she begins to realize a darker deception may be at play. Nothing is quite adding up, from the interrogation tactics of detectives Avery and Moon to the cryptic warning from her friend Sarah. Meanwhile, the introduction of an ominous criminal called Jovan hints at tangled threads connecting Rebecca’s case to broader conspiracies. Layer by layer, an intricate web of...

In the movie Detained, Rebecca, the main character, got her hands on eight million dollars from her ex, Louis Denton. Sadly, Louis dies in a fire that also takes the lives of his colleagues. The investigation into their deaths reveals that someone named Jovan was involved in killing them, but no one knows who this Jovan is. Meanwhile, there’s a guy named Avery, who used to be Louis’s foster brother. Avery knew about the eight million dollars he had, and, after Denton died, he suspected Rebecca might have it. So, he teamed up with a bunch of con artists who were in desperate need of money. Their plan? Frame Rebecca for a crime and steal the money from her. The big question is: will they pull off their scheme and make off with the money, or will Rebecca find a way to escape from them? Find out in...

Laz Alonso is taking a darker turn in his new film Detained. The psychological thriller sees The Boys star play an anything but noble Detective Avery opposite Abbie Cornish’s Rebecca. After a night out meeting someone at a bar, she wakes up in a shady-looking precinct accused of a hit-and-run. With no memory of what happened, she finds herself in a tortuous situation as Avery and fellow Detective Moon (Moon Bloodgood) push her to confess to the crime. A deadly scuffle reveals a sinister plot. This leaves Rebecca with no other choice but to uncover the truth. For fans of Alonso as Mother’s Milk, it’s a fun opportunity to see the actor step into a straight-up sinister-like character. Here he talks about making the movie. Alonso also reflects on how Season 4 of The Boys unfolded and the popular Amazon Prime Video series’ future. (L-r) Abbie Cornish, Laz Alonso,...

Update: The U.S. State Department said that Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkivich has been “wrongfully detained,” a determination that makes his case a higher priority by the government.

“Today, Secretary Blinken made a determination that Evan Gershkovich is wrongfully detained by Russia,” State Department principal deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel said in a statement. “Journalism is not a crime. We condemn the Kremlin’s continued repression of independent voices in Russia, and its ongoing war against the truth.”

“The U.S. government will provide all appropriate support to Mr. Gershkovich and his family. We call for the Russian Federation to immediately release Mr. Gershkovich.”

Gershkovich was charged with espionage last week and denied his guilty in court, according to Tass news agency. He was detained March 29 during a reporting trip to the city of Yekaterinburg.
