Red Right Hand (2024)

Orlando Bloom takes on a deadly drug queen in the tense ‘Red Right Hand’. With his town and his own brother under the thumb of a vicious backwoods drug cartel, Orlando Bloom fights back to save his family in ‘Red Right Hand.

Directing duo Ian and Eshom Nelms’ previous outing, ‘Fatman,’ was a flawed yet original – and often amusing – reinvention of the Santa Claus myth, shot through with humor and cynicism. The Nelms play it straight this time around, telling a grim story of a family fighting to stay alive in a town overrun and corrupted by a psychotic drug lord. The movie overcomes its ‘direct-to-VOD’ imprimatur by being both surprisingly heartfelt and anchored by a strong performance from Orlando Bloom.
