Magnolia Home Entertainment and Phase 4 Films announced that they have jointly acquired North American rights to Kern Saxton's revenge thriller Sushi Girl (2012), starring Mark Hamill, Sonny Chiba, James Duval, Michael Biehn, Danny Trejo, Tony Todd, and Cortney Palm.
The revenge thriller had its international premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival on July 21st 2012, to be followed by a theatrical release in the U.S. and cable VOD by Phase 4 Films in late 2012, with Blu-ray and DVD releases by Magnolia Home Entertainment under the Magnet Releasing label in early 2013.
Fish has spent six years in jail. Six years alone. Six years keeping his mouth shut about the robbery, about the other men involved. The night he is released, the four men he protected with silence celebrate his freedom with a congratulatory dinner. The meal is a lavish array of sushi, served off the naked body of a beautiful young woman. The sushi girl seems catatonic, trained to ignore everything in the room, even if things become dangerous. Sure enough, the four unwieldy thieves can't help but open old wounds in an attempt to find their missing loot.
I remember Mark Hamill talking about this movie at last years comic con and thought it looked interesting, I'll pick it up for sure just to see it finally.
