Bonus features include commentary with Director Brad Furman (Unbroken) and Cinematographer Lukas Ettlin, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and deleted scenes.
SYNOPSIS:
Felix De La Pena (Emmy® Award-winner John Leguizamo) is an armored car driver struggling to make ends meet for his wife Marina (Rosie Perez) and two kids in East LA’s Boyle Heights neighborhood. But their lives are thrown into chaos after Felix miraculously survives a violent on-the-job hijacking led by Adell Baldwin (Tyrese Gibson), a merciless criminal driven by power and greed. Now facing a difficult recovery and struggling with a nasty new temper, Felix becomes obsessed with tracking down his attackers before they frame him for the crimes they committed.
