Dark Asset Opens September 22

Saban Films (As in the Power Ranger guy? Apparently) is about to release the action thriller Dark Asset on digital and VOD. The film will also receive a limited theatrical run on the same day.

An ordinary soldier signs up for an experimental program which he’s told will enhance his combat skills. They didn’t tell him the catch to the deal, though — the facility now owns him as a living weapon! The soldier (whose name is unknown) isn’t happy with this, and vows to use his new abilities to break free, no matter what. As he’s pursued by the organization, he uncovers the truth about it, how far the conspiracy reaches and who’s behind it all.

Dark Asset stars Byron Mann, Robert Patrick and Helena Mattsson, and was written and directed by Michael Winnick. Check it out in selected theaters, VOD and On Demand September 22.

In this adrenaline-fueled action film, an ordinary soldier becomes the subject of a top-secret experimental program. Under the guise of enhancing his combat abilities, the program transforms him into a lethal living weapon. As the John Doe delves deeper into the project, he uncovers the horrifying truth behind the program’s objectives and the dark intentions of his creator. Fueled by a thirst for justice and driven by a desire for vengeance, the soldier breaks free from his captors and embarks on a relentless mission to dismantle the program while navigating a dangerous web of betrayal, conspiracy, and high-stakes action.

I've often wondered about the intriguing paradox of Saban Films. With the immense success and wealth garnered from properties like Power Rangers and English dubbed anime, you'd expect their movies to exude a level of grandeur. However, it's perplexing how some of their productions end up with that straight-to-DVD feel, despite having substantial resources at their disposal. Perhaps there's a deliberate artistic direction they're pursuing, or maybe it's just a curious choice in terms of the projects they greenlight. It's a puzzle why they wouldn't aim for more widespread appeal, given their billionaire owner's background.

Absolutely, it's a genuine head-scratcher. Saban Films seems to have a knack for producing movies that, despite having the resources and talent, often end up lacking the visual appeal and excitement that one might expect. There's this puzzling trend of their films having a rather lackluster and low-budget vibe, which is a stark contrast to the success and fortune associated with their owner's ventures. It leaves me wondering why they don't strive for a more engaging and captivating cinematic experience that resonates with a wider audience.

Dark Asset has got me thinking about the fine line between power and control. The thought of a soldier unknowingly signing up to become a living weapon is equal parts thrilling and unsettling. I'm itching to see how he flips the script and fights back against the organization that's been pulling the strings. This film has the potential to explore some deep themes beneath all that action-packed exterior.

Michael Winnick must have brewed up some serious movie magic to bring Dark Asset to life. The plot has the makings of a classic suspense thriller with a futuristic twist. I'm particularly excited about the unraveling of the conspiracy — the unknown soldier on a mission to expose the truth sounds like the ultimate underdog story

Dark Asset certainly presents an intriguing premise as an action thriller. While the concept of a regular soldier turned living weapon is attention-grabbing, there's something about it that leaves me undecided. It's as if there's a missing piece in the puzzle that's preventing me from forming a strong opinion. The blend of mystery and action is promising, yet there's an intangible element that's hard to pinpoint. It's one of those situations where I'd have to see the film to truly gauge whether it's a hit or a miss for me.
