CLIPS REVEALED FOR FIRST-PERSON ACTION THRILLER BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE
STARRING JOHN HANNAH, RADHA MITCHELL, TAMER HASSAN AND LANA PARRILLA
WORLD PREMIERE AT EIFF MIDNIGHT MADNESS ON 13TH AUGUST
IN UK & IRISH CINEMAS FROM 30TH OCTOBER
Friday 24th July, London, UK:Action Xtreme is thrilled to share two brand new clips from their upcoming turbo charged action-thriller Bad Day at the Office. The film will have its World Premiere as the opening film of the prestigious Midnight Madness strand at the Edinburgh International Film Festival and will be released in UK & Irish Cinemas from 30th October.
Shot entirely in first person, Bad Day At The Office combines a high-octane action thriller with that of an adrenaline-fueled video game. With the action all seen through the eyes of the protagonists via GoPro cameras; every punch, every chase, every explosion is seen and felt.
For fans of Hardcore Henry, blended with Crank, Call of Duty, and sprinkling of Guy Ritchie’s Snatch, this is John Hannah (The Mummy) as you’ve never seen him.
Bad Day at the Office also stars Radha Mitchell (Pitch Black), Tamer Hassan (The Football Factory) and Lana Parrilla (Once Upon a Time) as well as Tim Fellingham (Final Destination 5), Roxanne McKee (Game of Thrones), Branko Tomović (24: Live Another Day) and Victor Gardener (Fast and Furious 6).
Director Chee Keong Cheung has created a wild and relentless POV thriller that puts the audience squarely inside the chaos. You are not watching the main character. You are the main character.
When Karl (John Hannah) awakes in a wrecked hotel room with a splitting headache, it isn’t because he’s nursing a nasty hangover. Karl has no memory of what’s happened, where he is, or even who he is.
When he discovers a dead body in his bathtub, and two police officers soon knocking at his door, it sets into motion a terrifying and explosive series of events that force Karl and hotel maid Molly (Radha Mitchell) on a blind descent into a deceptive world of confusion and conspiracy, all the while with a price on his head and half the city in murderous pursuit.
Karl will need to draw on his forgotten skill sets if he has any hope of survival, as he and Molly endeavour to unravel the mystery that took his memories.
“Shot in the style of first-person shooter video games with cine-literate wit, humor, ferocious pacing and a cracking soundtrack, this is an anarchic, ultra-violent and hilarious thrill ride of pure, cinematic carnage,” said Festival Producer at Edinburgh Emma Boa. “The ultimate Midnight Madness experience.”
Bad Day at the Officewill have its World Premiere at Edinburgh Film Film Festival on 13th August and will hit UK & Irish Cinemas from 30th October 2026
