Synopsis:

#LongGoneHeroesMovie Gunner, a special forces soldier who has witnessed the darkest side of country and combat, is forced back into the field of battle to save his niece, who is being held in South America. As the fight intensifies, Gunner and his team discover that her disappearance is part of a corrupt private operation that hits way too close to home. Acclaimed actors Andy Garcia, Melissa Leo, Josh Hutcherson and Frank Grillo star in a non-stop action thriller that will leave you breathless.

My reaction: Alongside an ensemble cast, Frank Grillo leads the explosive and gritty high-stakes action packed drama Long Gone Heroes as the merciless former special forces operative. The intense action thriller scours through a political conflict in Venezuela centering on greed, moral compass, political corruption, and briefly showcasing society’s desensitization to violence.
