e’s hard to love, but even harder to kill… Hung’s Thomas Jane (The Mist, The Punisher) stars as the tough-as-nails private dick Malone in the explosive new thriller, GIVE ‘EM HELL MALONE, a gritty flick from Aussie director Russell Mulcahy. Expertly blending old-school pulp noir with bullet-riddled action, GIVE ‘EM HELL MALONE will make its U.S. debut on both DVD and Blu-Ray ($24.98srp each) only from National Entertainment Media.

Give ‘Em Hell Malone follows the titular character as he comes into possession of a mysterious suitcase said to contain the “meaning of love”. The case is of great interest to a local mob boss, and he dispatches a trio of eccentric – and deadly – enforcers, Boulder (Rhames, The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, Day of the Dead), pyromaniac Matchstick (Hutchinson) and female assassin Mauler (Chris Yen) to take possession of it. What they didn’t anticipate was Malone’s resolve – and his Mateba autorevolver. As with all good noir films, tangled up in the mix is a bombshell femme fatale, played by the positively steamy Elsa Pataky (Giallo) who may prove more trouble than she’s worth. As the edgy plot plays out, things, of course, aren’t as clear cut as they seem and soon the film overflows with betrayal, blood and violence.

A 2009 production, GIVE ‘EM HELL MALONE is presented in 16 x 9 widescreen with English SDH for the deaf and hard of hearing, as well as Spanish subtitles. The DVD features 5.1 Surround/2.0 Dolby Digital and the Blu-ray features 5.1 Surround Sound/DTS-HD Master Audio.
