Hulu
I can't believe this is a film that was almost never released. Directed by Joe Carnahan (
The Grey, The A-Team, Smokin' Aces), it was planned for release on Aug. 16, 2019. Instead it was shelved. Thank goodness it's found a home on Hulu. It's a hoot!
Following the now well-worn idea of
Groundhog Day, the story trails former Special Forces operative Roy Pulver (Frank Grillo) as he relives the day of his death over and over again. Like
Edge of Tomorrow (2014), every day Roy gets a little further through the day before he's inevitable killed by one of a cadre of colorful assassins. Think of it like a video game and the player trying to level up.
