Anthony Mackie and Dafne Keen are set to star in the upcoming action-thriller ‘Barracuda,’ alongside Steven Bauer and Anthony Del Negro, in a gripping story about a man who takes on ruthless crime bosses after rescuing a trafficked girl.
The official synopsis reads: “When Karl (Mackie), a former smuggler with a haunted past, storms a nightclub in Mexico to rescue Jodie (Keen), a kidnapped teenage girl, he ignites a chain reaction of blood and bullets that burns across 100 miles of deadly roads toward the U.S. border. The breakout turns into a high-speed race when Karl kills the brother of the ruthless club owner and steals his prized 1973 Plymouth Barracuda. Now hunted by relentless criminals, Karl and Jodie tear across the desert with no way to slow down.”
Neil Burger is directing ‘Barracuda’ from a screenplay by Adam Mason and Simon Boyes. Production is set to begin this week in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
