Confessions Of An Action Star David Leitch Kelly Hu Angelina Jolie.
Cameos from Angelina Jolie, Dax Shepard, Carrie-Anne Moss, Sean Young, Debbie Allen, Hugo Weaving, Richard Lewis, Jon Gries, Ben Stiller and more! In the spring of 1986, no one had heard of Frank Sledge. One year later, Bloodfight 2 was at the box office...and a star was born.
A 'mockumentary' on the rise and fall of Chippendales dancer turned martial arts action star, Francis Allen Sledgewick, AKA Frank Sledge. When fame and fortune cause Frank to lose his sense of what's truly important, he realises he's going to have to get in touch with his roots in order to make a comeback!
Starring David Leitch, producer and co-director (with Chad Stahelski) of John Wick (2014). David also directed Atomic Blonde (2017) starring Charlize Theron, the box office smash, Deadpool 2 (2018) as well as the Fast and Furious spin-off: Hobbs and Shaw (2019).
Playing themselves, a solid roster of actual leading industry lights — including Ernie Hudson, Eric Roberts, Angelina Jolie, Carrie-Anne Moss, Sean Young, Kelly Hu, Debbie Allen, Brett Ratner, Hugo Weaving, Richard Lewis, Jon Gries and Ben Stiller — offer amusing “interview” commentary on the fictive subject’s roller-coaster past. But the funniest bits by far are alleged excerpts from Sledge’s hit pics. “Below the Law,” “Under Attack” and “Out for Vengeance” perfectly ape the leaden tough-guy dialogue and ponderous self-regard of peak Seagal vehicles (Leitch duly wears a black ponytail and padded paunch), while “Jimbo” parodies “Rambo” formulae.
