Action star Frank Grillo has now joined the cast of the thriller Hard Matter in which he will star alongside Oscar nominee Harvey Keitel (Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction).
“Hard Matter is a taught, edge of your seat, an action thriller set in a new America divided by quadrants, in which a power-hungry corporation has taken over the conventional prison system and replaced it with a system of deadly watches. Criminals are the new law enforcers that carry out all forms of capital punishment to regain their place in society.”
