Stallone! Eastwood! Two of the most meaningful names in movie history are coming together on a new action film, Alarum! Okay, so Sylvester Stallone spends most of his time on the Paramount+ series Tulsa King now, and the Eastwood in question is Clint’s son Scott, but it’s still pretty cool, right? I’d put those last names on the poster in big bold letters! That said, they’re surrounded by a great cast for a film full of cool spy stuff.
Alarum stars Eastwood and Stallone along with Willa Fitzgerald (Strange Darling), Mike Colter (Luke Cage), Brazilian actress Isis Valverde (Angela), and Joel Cohen. It’s directed by Michael Polish, who is best known for the movies he’s made with his brother Mark such as Twin Falls Idaho, Northfork, and The Astronaut Farmer.
Here’s the synopsis: Academy Award nominee Sylvester Stallone, Scott Eastwood, Mike Colter, and Willa Fitzgerald star in this explosive action-thriller about two married spies caught in the crosshairs of an international intelligence network that will stop at nothing to obtain a critical asset. Joe (Eastwood) and Lara (Fitzgerald) are agents living off the grid whose quiet retreat at a winter resort is blown to shreds when members of the old guard suspect the two may have joined an elite team of rogue spies, known as ALARUM.
One look at the trailer and it seems Stallone has another easy gig on his hands. In his recent film Armor (review here), Sly was heavily promoted but was only on set for a day and didn’t carry much of the action.
Alarum opens in theaters and digital on January 17th 2025.
