Will oil be well in Chan and Cena’s Hidden Strike?

One legendary action star and one who’s staking his claim to join those ranks collide, as Jackie Chan and John Cena star in the upcoming oil-based explosion fest Hidden Strike.
It’s ticking a lot of the classic, good time action flick boxes, too, from the double barrel main casting to the ultra-generic title. And sometimes ropey CGI explosions? It’s certainly got plenty of ’em!
Another important ingredient for the perfect action romp is a basic, one-line synopsis, and this one goes like this: “Two ex-special forces soldiers must escort a group of civilians along Baghdad's ‘Highway of Death’ to the safety of the Green Zone.”
Words can only convey so much, so why not wrap your eyes around the official trailer? You can do as much just down the page a little.
As for the behind-the-scenes stuff, Hidden Strike has been penned by Arash Amel (A Private War, Grace of Monaco). Meanwhile, action man Scott Waugh – who gave us Need for Speed and is also behind the upcoming Expendables 4, or Expend4bles - sat in the director’s chair.
We’re currently rather eagerly awaiting confirmation of an Australian release date for Hidden Strike…
OK, now it’s explosion time!
