Exclusive: Cam Gigandet and Sam Trammell Face Off in '72 Hours' Trailer

Is there ever a *bad* time to indulge in a little action-thriller? I think not! And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, we're about to dive into the wild world of "72 Hours," a film that's shaping up to be quite the cinematic rollercoaster. This November, Brainstorm Media is bringing us a tale of brotherly love—if you count money laundering and international crime as love, of course.

Starring Sam Trammell of *True Blood* fame and Cam Gigandet from *The Magnificent Seven*, this film introduces us to two brothers who couldn’t be more different if they tried. One’s an FBI agent, the other’s a criminal mastermind—talk about sibling rivalry! Set to hit theaters and On Demand on November 1, the tagline alone makes you want to grab popcorn and hold onto your seats: “Two brothers, one an FBI agent and the other an international money launderer, put aside their differences and band together to save their family by going after a perilous extraction deep in kingpin territory.” Honestly, who needs Christmas when you have *the* family drama unfolding like this?

Meet Alex (Gigandet), who’s knee-deep in an international crypto money laundering scheme, courtesy of some not-so-friendly crime lords, and Sebastian (Trammell), blissfully unaware of his brother's shady dealings while patrolling the law. But of course, as is often the case in films of this genre, everything goes south when fate intervenes—cue dramatic music! When Sebastian catches a glimpse of Alex during a mission and, in a twist of moral confusion (and perhaps a pinch of familial loyalty), lets him slip away, he unknowingly opens Pandora’s box. And you guessed it: it only gets worse from here.

As if that weren’t enough, Alex's attempt to double-cross crime lord Tye Revello (played by Pierson Fodé) leads to an escalation of chaos, complete with kidnapped loved ones—because kidnapping someone’s daughter is just what you do when things get complicated, right? So Sebastian, realizing that family bonds run deeper than laws, decides to team up with Alex. Together, they embark on a mission to save their niece, all while recruiting a crew that’s “the best of the best” because why not throw some action movie clichés in while we’re at it?

Directed by Christian Sesma, who has a knack for thrillers (remember *Lights Out*? Of course you do), this film promises all the kinetic action and tension that send chills down your spine and popcorn flying out of your hands. Sesma didn’t just sit back and yell “action”—he also co-wrote the screenplay with Sean Crayne, proving that he’s all about that creative hustle. "There’s lots to be excited about,” says Michelle Shwarzstein, CEO of Brainstorm Media, hinting at a film that’s not just thrill-a-minute but has an emotional punch too.

In a wonderfully cliché filmmaker moment, Sesma expressed his enthusiasm: “Shooting a tight, action thriller in South Georgia… brought the crime heist genre to life.” I mean, who wouldn’t be excited to make a movie that blends family loyalty with an illegal lifestyle? As if anyone could resist the allure of crime when given the chance to explore those *quaint* sibling dynamics.

Mark your calendars, folks! *72 Hours* premieres in theaters and On Demand on November 1. So grab your bestie, or maybe your least Favorite sibling, and prepare for a film that promises to be one wild ride.
