Hey there, film buffs! There's a new action thriller on the horizon that's bound to get your adrenaline pumping. Guess who is stepping into the world of undercover crime-fighting? None other than our beloved ‘Smallville' actor, Tom Welling! This time he's ditching his red and blue suit for some gritty action in the new movie ‘Mafia Wars', being brought to us by Saban Films.
Welling, who won our hearts as the young Clark Kent in ‘Smallville', has now taken up a challenging task. In ‘Mafia Wars', he embarks on an undercover mission to tear down a menacing crime syndicate wreaking havoc in Italy. His character, Terry Jacobs, transitions from being a recently paroled felon to a vital part of the law enforcement's effort to battle out this crime wave. And let's tell you, it's not gonna be a walk in the park.
Cam Gigandet, known for his villainous roles in films like ‘Never Back Down', ‘The Magnificent Seven' remake in 2016, and ‘Silent Night', is back as the baddie. He's playing Griff, the formidable head of the infamous Italian mob. The intense face-off between Gigandet's Griff and Welling's Jacobs is something we can't wait to witness!
But the action doesn't stop there! The star-studded cast also includes Cher Cosenza, Chris Mullinax, and Al Linea, among others. Not to forget, new talent Sterling Griffin makes an exciting debut in this film.
Envisaged by Scott Windhauser, who not only penned down the story but also directed ‘Mafia Wars', this action-packed thriller is set to hit digital platforms and On Demand from October 11. Are you ready to indulge in a gripping cinematic experience?
Let's shift our gears a bit and appreciate the journey of Tom Welling. Before being the small-town hero in ‘Smallville', he was a model and dabbled in acting. His worry about being typecast made him initially decline the Clark Kent role. Thank heavens he gave in to the charm of that wholesome ‘Smallville' script!
As Clark Kent, Welling brought forth the character's innate goodness and portrayed his struggles with identity exquisitely. The gripping dynamics between Clark and his complicated friendship with Lex turned out to be a unique draw for viewers that kept them hooked.
Welling's step into the world of ‘Mafia Wars' is a thrilling one and we're super excited to see his transformation from the virtuous Clark Kent to the street-smart Terry Jacobs. Stay ready folks, this is one roller-coaster ride we can't afford to miss!
This movie promises us an exhilarating journey into the dark underbelly of the Italian mafia, with doses of pulsating action and drama. So, mark your calendars for October 11! The ‘Mafia Wars' are about to begin!
