Luke Evans headlines a tense action-thriller in 5 Lbs of Pressure. This powerful film, coming this March, explores themes of forgiveness, vengeance, and the complex bonds of family.
Second Chances on Borrowed Time:
Fresh out of a 16-year prison sentence for murder, Adam (Evans) returns to his old neighborhood. Haunted by his past but determined to rebuild his life, he faces a daunting task: reconnecting with the son who grew up without him. But forgiveness may not be as readily available as he hopes, as the vengeful brother of his victim lurks in the shadows, waiting for his chance to unleash his rage.
Caught in his own web of violence is Mike (Rory Culkin), trapped under the thumb of his drug-dealing uncle (Alex Pettyfer). Yearning for a way out, Mike’s fate becomes intertwined with Adam’s, setting them on a collision course with explosive consequences.
While 5 Lbs of Pressure promises action-packed thrills, it delves deeper, exploring the emotional turmoil of characters seeking redemption and escape. Adam grapples with the weight of his past while fighting for a future with his son. Mike desperately seeks a way out of a life dictated by violence. Their paths collide, forcing them to confront their demons and make choices that will reverberate throughout their lives.
