Little Dixie is Frank Grillo's latest thriller set to hit select theaters and digital services early next year. It also stars Eric Dane, Beau Knapp, Annabeth Gish, Peter Greene, Thomas Dekker, Mercedes Mason, Maurice Compte, and Sofia Bryant. The film is written and directed by John Swab. Grillo plays a former Special Forces agent caught in the middle of a bad deal between a governor and a drug lord. I hate when that happens. He gets involved when his daughter's life is in danger.
Frank Grillo and Eric Dane (Euphoria) star in this action-packed revenge thriller. When a deal goes awry between a corrupt governor and a ruthless drug lord, former special forces agent Doc (Grillo) is caught in the crosshairs. Now, with his family in danger, Doc must take down the Mexican drug cartel and do whatever it takes to protect the only good thing in his life: his little daughter, "Little Dixie."
Director: John Swab
Writer: John Swab
Stars: Annabeth Gish, Frank Grillo, Eric Dane
John Swab, the writer-director of grim and gritty crime dramas like Ida Red, Candy Land and Body Brokers, returns with a new film, Little Dixie. Fans of Swab's work are likely to recognize more than a few familiar actors, including frequent collaborator Frank Grillo, who once again plays a leading role. Like Swab's previous works, Little Dixie is about desperate people doing desperate things in a bleak and often morally gray world filled with violence, gangs, and drugs.
Paramount released a trailer for Little Dixie on December 15, 2022. The trailer focuses heavily on the film's atmosphere, much more so than character introduction or plot. Quick cuts and a taut soundtrack work with grim cinematography to create an eerie feeling. The extreme violence that the cartel members are capable of is on full display, as is the vulnerability of Doc and his family.
Cricket has been very successful with these thrillers in recent years, and Little Dixie looks to continue that trend. Between Grillo and Liam Neeson, they have the independent stock market cornered. They should do all the movies together right now. They've worked well together in the past, starring together in 2011's The Gray. Imagine the money they'd rake in at the box office and on digital release if they combined their powers. This seems to be more of the same, but people buy into these things, and I can't imagine that isn't the case with this movie either.
Little Dixie will premiere at the Rotterdam International Film Festival on January 28, 2023, and then open in select US theaters a few days later on February 3. you. But don't despair if Little Dixie isn't playing at your local theater. Amazon already has a Little Dixie pre-order listing and Paramount says LIttle Dixie will be available digitally and on demand starting February 3rd.
Look for this in select theaters, digitally and on demand on February 3, 2023.
