December 3: Girls Gone Wild: The Untold...

Madrid — San Sebastian Festival has announced the third and final recipient of this year’s Donostia career achievement awards, Canadian actor Donald Sutherland. He will accept the honor before screening his latest film, Guiseppe Capotondi’s “The Burnt Orange Heresy.”

With more than 200 credited performances over the past half-century, Sutherland stands tall, literally and figuratively, as a major figure in world cinema. The actor was nominated eight times for a Golden Globe, in 2017 received an honorary Oscar for career achievement and in 2019 was named a Companion of the Order of Canada, one of the country’s most prestigious honors.

Sutherland first studied engineering before catching the acting bug and bouncing around performing arts schools in Canada and the U.K. It wasn’t long before the young actor made his way to screens in living rooms across the English-speaking world in popular series such as “The Saint” and “The Avengers.

“American Hangman” belongs to that species of grade-z movie that’s at once grisly and pretentious. It’s trash with a lot on its mind. Most of the film is set in a dim concrete bunker, where Henry, an “intellectual” psychopath played by Vincent Kartheiser in the heaviest bowl cut I have ever seen (his inky bangs hang down to the point that they threaten to devour his face), has shackled a pair of prisoners as though setting them up for a game of “Saw.” (The comparison is so obvious that it’s referenced by the film in the opening five minutes.) He gives the mouthier of the two prisoners a series of electric shocks, then cuts off his finger with a garden shears, a few minutes before shooting him dead.

But “American Hangman” isn’t torture porn. The movie turns into a dialectical showdown between the psycho and his other hostage,...

In American Hangman, the new thriller from writer/director Wilson Coneybeare, a kidnapping, broadcast live on social media, turns into the trial of a judge who presided over a botched criminal case. This time, however, the audience gets to play judge and jury, deciding if the judge himself gets to live or die. Aqute Media and Vertical Entertainment have given Screen Anarchy an exclusive clip from the film to view featuring Mad Men's Vincent Kartheiser as the would-be judge, jury and executioner. The film also stars screen legend Donald Sutherland, Oliver Denis and others. American Hangman opens in select theaters on January 4, 2019. Check out the clip below:...

Aqute Media & Vertical Entertainment have unveiled the first trailer for a psychological thriller titled American Hangman, another play on the web being the perfect place to take advantage of viewers who want to watch something too real. The film is a thriller built around a "relentlessly ticking clock and a rapidly approaching deadline and verdict."

In a society where everything is judged on social media – including our own self-worth – it doesn’t seem too farfetched that people would flock to the internet to judge and determine the fate of a man’s literal survival. In the new movie American Hangman cinema vet Donald Sutherland plays a judge who is taken prisoner and forced…...
