A new batch of images have arrived from Officer Downe. The film is based on the adaption of the brutal comic by Chris Burnham and John Casey.

Sons of Anarchy actor Kim Coates stars as Officer Downe, in my opinion, a fantastic casting choice. Sam Witwer, Lauren Luna Velez and Lindsay Pulsipher co-star.

This is one cop that’ll keep coming back for more…even from the grave! The release date has not been announced. As soon as it is we will let you know.
