Once again, the sci-fi B-movie is getting some love, and I couldn’t be happier. Yes, alien movies are a dime a dozen, but for me, it’s the actors that are the bigger draw here. After his work on films like The Purge: Anarchy, the Joe Carnahan-produced Wheelman, and the Marvel films, Frank Grillo has always been one of the highlights of whatever project he’s in, commanding the screen with aplomb. In addition, I’d be lying if I said the prospect of seeing him potentially mix it up with Bruce Willis in a sci-fi film – a genre in which the Die Hard actor has done prolific and iconic work – isn’t making me want to see this movie even more. I’ll definitely be there opening night whenever Cosmic Sin opens.
