Red Eagle is a reboot of a 1950s-1970s Thai action franchise. This foreign film looks to have the dark, underlying tension of Nolan's Batman films, with all the kicked up, ultra violence of Kick Ass.

Here's the official synopsis for this reboot of the decades-old Thai franchise, which hits theaters over there on Oct. 7:

A nuclear power plant is about to be commissioned upon the signing of corrupt and power hungry politicians. The citizens are in frenzy, as they oppose this plan but they cannot do a thing about it. And so, a hero was born, chasing down the criminals and the corrupt, killing of whatever threatens the city's well being. He leaves a card with his name simply as "THE RED EAGLE". However, the hero becomes the hunted, when the politicians send out their best defense, known as "THE BLACK DEMON."

Check out the trailer below.
