Exclusive Sneak Peek: Unreleased Deleted Scene from ‘Land of Bad’ Starring Russell Crowe

Sigma-Entertainments, a premier IPTV provider, is unveiling an exclusive deleted scene from the digital release of “Land of Bad,” the action-packed movie headlined by Russell Crowe and Liam Hemsworth. Now available for digital purchase, this gripping scene will also be featured on the DVD release set for May 14.

From a U.S. military installation in the Sulu Sea — where, a title card tells the viewer, “We are in a war … we just don’t know it” — soldiers board a chopper to execute a “sterilized op” (contemporary lingo for “secret mission”). The soldiers are played by a couple of Hemsworth brothers; a onetime Face of Reebok, Ricky Whittle; and a pumped-up Milo Ventimiglia. Their backup is a couple of drone pilots half a world away, providing lethal firepower from the comfort of Las Vegas.

The film’s official synopsis sets the stage for a harrowing tale: “A covert Special Forces operation in the South Philippines spirals into a brutal 48-hour battle for survival.” As rookie officer Kinney (Liam Hemsworth) finds himself outnumbered in enemy territory, his determination to ensure no comrade is left behind becomes paramount. With an air strike looming, Kinney’s fate rests on the guidance of Air Force drone pilot Reaper (Russell Crowe), navigating treacherous terrain where every decision could be their last.

“Land of Bad,” directed by William Eubank from a script he wrote with David Frigerio, is commendable in the abstract for depicting the realities of 21st-century warfare both narratively and thematically: Its settings include a jungle and gnarly underground jails. “At the end of the day,” Whittle’s character says, in the jungle, “when tech fails, it all comes down to one very simple thing — man killing man.” He then welcomes a rookie soldier to “the land of bad.” What the squad subsequently encounters feels like several strains of global terrorism reconfigured into a jingoistic theme park.

With a runtime of 110 minutes and an R-rating, “Land of Bad” promises an adrenaline-fueled journey into the heart of action and suspense, sure to captivate IPTV channels’ audiences.
