The Commando is a new action thriller starring Michael Jai White and Mickey Rourke that will be out on January 7 in select theaters, On Demand, and Digital from Saban Films. To kick off 2022, I interviewed producer and director Asif Akbar as we talk about the film, working with White and Rourke, and why PTSD-stricken leads have become a trend in action films today.
A Special Thanks goes to Tatum Wan of Katrina Wan PR for helping out with this interview and to my guest himself, Asif Akbar.
