Desperate to leave his long-term relationship behind him, Mike (Favreau) heads to Los Angeles to pursue his acting career and have a little fun with the help of his friend Trent (Vaughn).
Hostage
Every second counts for former hostage negotiator Jeff Talley (Golden Globe® winner Bruce Willis*, the Die Hard series) when he finds himself in the thick of another family’s drama with dire consequences. Talley has to keep the family alive and the criminals at bay in order to keep the father’s secret. Based on the Robert Crais novel of the same name, the action-filled thriller also stars Kevin Pollak (The Usual Suspects) and Ben Foster (3:10 To Yuma).

Tracker
Packed with action, suspense and outlaws, Lionsgate unleashes Tracker on DVD, Digital Download and On Demand this summer. Starring Temuera Morrison (Green Lantern) and multiple award winner Ray Winstone (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull), the classic “catch me if you can” style film follows a former soldier on the trail of a man accused of killing a fellow soldier. An Official Selection at both the Valencia and Toronto International Film Festivals, critics hailed the film and the lead actor, saying Winstone gives “a masterful performance” (Toronto Film Scene) in the western. The Tracker DVD also features interviews with the cast and crew.
Just after returning to the country that he fought for, ex-soldier Arjan (Winstone) is sent on the hunt for an accused killer. These two men on opposite sides of the law – one an enforcer, and the other running scared – play a dangerous game of cat and mouse in the outback of New Zealand. When the accused is finally captured, the hunter soon finds that the hunted is innocent. Arjan is left with a life changing choice in which only one man can walk away alive.
Pricing: DVD – $26.98
