2 INTRODUCTION

The American Midwest: Working families struggle to keep their heads above water while corporations and economic difficulty keeps people down. Jacob Tasker (Frank Grillo) is on the front lines of this domestic battle. He is trying to do the right thing and provide for his loving wife Christina (Olivia Culpo) and young daughter Sophia (Natalia Sophie Butler).

Jacob made a promise to his late cop father to pursue a less-dangerous career, so he works as a bank manager, while Christina’s job at a university health care center helps make ends meet. They’re average people living uneventful lives…until Jacob crosses paths with Gabriel Connors.

Gabriel (Johnathon Schaech) is a man leading a double life. His father is suffering from Alzheimer’s, and Gabriel, a responsible son, makes sure his dad is comfortable while paying for hospice care. However, Gabriel has a dark side, one driven by his own desire to get ahead: He is responsible for a violent string of masked robberies that have foiled the FBI and local authorities.

By happenstance, Jacob’s bank is his next target. After Gabriel bursts in, kills an innocent guard, steals thousands of dollars and races off on a motorcycle, Jacob is wracked with guilt over his inability to stop it. Confiding to his gruff but amiable neighbor, a smart ex-cop named James (Bruce Willis), Jacob realizes there were clues left at the scene that the police aren’t moving fast enough on. As James utilizes the deductive skills he honed from over 20 years on the force, he and Jacob figure out what the thief’s next moves are.

There are dangers that Jacob and James aren’t counting on when they set out to catch a thief. First, an armored car – and two unwitting security guards inside it – are involved. Then $300,000 and a high-speed chase figure into it. Finally, there’s the gritty desperation of Gabriel, whose need to get that money back – and help his ailing father – has obliterated his sense of right and wrong.

As an FBI agent named Fields (Colin Egglesfield) closes in on Gabriel, Christina and Sophia become pawns in Gabriel’s game, James is haunted by his past, and Jacob is forced to see that a counterattack can have deadly consequences.

CHARACTERS ON THE EDGE

The emotions in REPRISAL are rooted in the financial and familial tumult many Americans have experienced in recent years.

“REPRISAL is really a two-handed story,” says director Brian A. Miller. “We follow the path of Jacob Tasker, who is going through a real tragedy, having lived through the trauma of an intense robbery. He’s a person trying to set things right. But after tracking the man who murdered his coworker in cold blood, the hunter becomes the hunted.”

“Gabriel, the perpetrator of the robbery at Jacob’s bank, has put together a very expansive and elaborate way of committing these crimes,” says Miller. “In order to figure out the criminal’s next move, Jacob partners up with his next-door neighbor, James, who’s a former law enforcement officer – and together, these two work to reverse-engineer all of the pieces of Gabriel’s past crimes.”

The REPRISAL cast was up to the challenge of making the story a flesh-and-blood thriller. One is a true icon: Bruce Willis, who’s combined action landmarks (Die Hard and its blockbuster sequels, as well as

3 Armageddon, The Fifth Element, Sin City, RED, Looper, and the Expendables movies, among many others) with dramatic performances in films (In Country, Pulp Fiction, The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and more.) Willis is matched with one of today’s most dynamic actors, Frank Grillo (Warrior, The Grey, , , Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Wheelman, TV’s acclaimed action-drama Kingdom).

Backing them up is acclaimed actor Johnathon Schaech (star of Marauders, Arsenal, TV’s hit DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and the miniseries Texas Rising) and Colin Egglesfield (Vice, Bad Moms, TV’s Rizzoli & Isles). As Jacob’s wife, newcomer Olivia Culpo (American Satan) jumps into the action-drama genre with gusto, guts, and grace.

“Working with Bruce Willis is like a dream come true,” says Schaech. “When I was growing up and wanting to be an actor, Bruce transcended it all. He’s built this amazing career and made incredible films, and truly defined what an action hero is for generations of people.”

Adds Culpo, “Working with Bruce was so inspiring. His charisma on set is unlike anyone else I’ve ever been around.”

Grillo credits Willis with bringing him onto the REPRISAL team. “One of many reasons why I took this role was because Bruce was part of the film,” Grillo says.

Grillo has built up his own solid body of work as an actor and, now, a producer, through his production company WarParty (which he began with writer-director , his collaborator on the action- dramas Pride and Glory and The Grey). The New York-raised Grillo says he focuses on both the physical and mental aspects of his intense performances.

“For all my roles, I create a bible for whatever character I’m playing – otherwise, behaviorally, you can find yourself in a no-man’s land,” says Grillo about his process. “Jacob Tasker is a guy living beyond his means. Like many Americans, Jacob was doing well for a while – he has a nice house, a beautiful wife, a great kid. His young daughter has diabetes, and as the story starts the family is caught up in hospital bills and mortgage bills. It’s the kind of American story that we’re very familiar with in real life.”

Another thing that appealed to Grillo about the character of Jacob in REPRISAL was the chance to portray a person with a gentler side to him.

“Jacob is a regular guy, and I don’t get to do many roles like that,” says Grillo. “He’s a good guy, kind of an average Joe. He then gets into a situation that alters the course of what had been his conventional life, which has had some issues. Then he’s forced to become something that he never thought he was capable of being.”

“There’s a real journey Jacob makes,” says Grillo. “By the end, he’s a much different human being, but he’s better for it.”

Grillo’s solid professionalism and constant striving for truth was one factor that helped boost the entire REPRISAL team.

“Frank exceeds all expectations,” says Miller. “His talent and professionalism are just phenomenal. He elevates every person on this cast and on this crew to want to step outside of their comfort zone. You never know how far you’re going to get in life until you really exceed your expectations, and that sums up Frank. He’s a phenomenal talent.”

4 The teaming of Grillo and Willis was a true high point for Miller.

“There’s a scene where Bruce and Frank, playing James and Jacob, are building an ‘investigation wall’ of the crimes in a basement, and it was one of my favorite scenes I’ve ever had the opportunity to work on,” says Miller. “Watching these two great actors go head-to-head became like a game of one-upmanship for them. It was great.”

Says Egglesfield, “When I heard I was going to be working with Frank Grillo, I was excited, because there’s something about certain actors that when they come onscreen, they’re just magnetic. Frank definitely has that.”

“But there’s also an approachability to Frank that invites you in — you can feel what he’s really going through,” Egglesfield continues. “As an actor, it’s terrific to do a scene with someone as talented and experienced as Frank. It makes getting up in the morning that much more exciting when you know you’re going to be acting toe-to-toe with Frank.”

Schaech, who has portrayed heroes, villains, and everything in-between in films including Acts of Violence, Arsenal, and Marauders, seized the challenge of playing Gabriel.

“Gabriel is certainly the bad guy, but there’s something else going on inside him,” says Schaech. “He’s really misunderstood, and he takes out his vengeance on the world.”

“Gabriel’s got many layers,” Schaech continues. “One thing going on with him is that years earlier, his father tried to set up his own factory, and not only did the government come after him and take funds from him, but the local Mob took him under. Now, his dad is suffering from Alzheimer’s, and this is Gabriel’s reprisal for everything that happened to his father.”

“As different as they are, there’s a parallel between Gabriel and Jacob’s families,” adds Schaech. “They’re both doing everything they can to save their families. That thread unites the two characters.”

Culpo was eager to jump into the fray and explore how Christina Tasker would adapt to her husband’s dilemma – and, when it comes to it, get involved in Gabriel’s plot.

“I immediately fell in love with the script and with the character of Christina,” says Culpo. “REPRISAL is my first action film, and I knew that it was going to be something that I just had to be involved with.”

“I wanted to portray Christina as a strong and confident woman,” Culpo continues. “I wanted her to be an equal partner with Jacob in caring for their daughter and providing for the family. That was an important choice – I never wanted it to seem like Christina was prying into what Jacob and James were planning, or was being difficult with Jacob after the robbery her husband experienced. I wanted it to feel as if she was eager to help in any way.”

Says Miller of Culpo, who won the Miss Universe pageant in 2012 before moving into films, “I was extremely impressed with how much work Olivia had done on the character, how much preparation she did before we even started, and how much she knew. You can see all of that onscreen in her performance. She brings so much to the table.”

5 Egglesfield, who costarred on All My Children before costarring in Something Borrowed and The Space Between Us on the big screen and playing Tommy Rizzoli on TNT’s hit series Rizzoli & Isles, says he enjoyed the opportunity to delve into the psychology of an FBI agent.

“There were several different ways to play this kind of guy,” says Egglesfield. “You could play him as a bad-ass, or as someone who’s trying to ingratiate himself with the people he’s interrogating. I tried to find the right balance.”

“One of my good friends is actually a police officer, so as part of my research I spoke to him about how he’d go about interrogating people, the difficulties and tactics agents face when they try to get information,” continues Egglesfield. “My friend said that a lot of the process has to do with making sure the person you’re talking to feels comfortable enough to reveal information they perhaps wouldn’t give if they were feeling defensive.”

“I didn’t want to play Fields as an intimidating bad-ass coming into a room and being like, ‘Alright, tell me all the information!’” says Egglesfield. “I tried to play him as a pretty even-keeled person. But what Fields is actually doing as the investigation goes on is playing a game of cat-and-mouse.”

A CALL TO ACTION

There’s a real art to a well-executed action sequence, as well as the moments of suspense and drama that lead up to explosions of violence. For Miller – who directed Dave Bautista in House of the Rising Sun, Stephen Dorff in Officer Down, James Caan and Jason Patric in The Outsider, and Bruce Willis and Thomas Jane in Vice – it’s all about sharp professionalism.

“In the first couple of weeks of shooting on REPRISAL, there were a lot of action beats to shoot, but we had a phenomenal stunt team on board,” says Miller. “There’s a great motorcycle-versus-the police chase sequence in the film that our stunt supervisors absolutely blew through the roof. I just sat back and let them do their thing.”

Much of the film, Miller reveals, has got layers, clues, and references that even the most astute audiences may miss upon a single viewing.

“REPRISAL is going to keep audiences guessing,” says Miller. “I’d love audiences to watch the film more than once. If they do, they’ll see a lot of things put in the film as red herrings — pieces of the story that are part of the story’s connective tissue. Every one of those red herrings is there for a reason.”

For all of the story’s plot machinations, it’s the relatable — and very human — characters who make the film tick.

Says Egglesfield, “Some of my favorite movies are very character-driven stories that are matched with great action sequences. That’s what I really liked about REPRISAL – it’s a great balance of action and drama.”

That was part of Miller’s design. Says Grillo of his director, “Brian is ambitious. He’s emotional, and a very positive filmmaker. He’s impassioned and open to collaboration and suggestions. You know what he’s doing, and he knows what he wants.”

6 Adds Schaech, who worked with Miller previously on The Prince and Vice, “Brian encourages a lot of interpretation and loves to develop ideas with people.”

Culpo found the atmosphere on the set perfect for her debut dive into this genre.

“This is the first action film that I’ve done, and the fast pace and the stunts were so fun,” Culpo says. “There are so many elements that go into making fantastic action sequences work. And Brian empowers every actor that he works with — he knows exactly what he wants, he makes playbooks for every scene, and he really encourages collaboration. Brian and I came up with a backstory for the character of Christina, which was important for me.”

Says Egglesfield. “As an actor, you need to feel like you can trust the person at the helm, because on an action film, there can be so many crazy, wild things happening all at once. Brian Miller is somebody who is always composed and has such a confident demeanor. You’d follow him into battle any day.”

“Brian is fully involved and engaged for his actors,” Egglesfield adds. “You know you’ll never have to fend for yourself, and that he’s got your back.”
