Michael Jai White has a target on his back in trailer for hitman action thriller Hostile Takeover

July 23, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

Quiver Distribution has shared a trailer, poster and promotional images for Hostile Takeover, the upcoming action thriller from director Michael Hamilton-Wright.

Michael Jai White stars as Pete Strykyr, an elite hitman who has a target mistakenly put on his back after he joins a workaholics support group. Check out the trailer below…

Pete Strykyr is a top-tier hitman with a knack for talking his way out of trouble—until a deadly mix-up puts a target on his back. Hunted by the city’s deadliest killers, Pete’s forced into a wild, brutal night of improvised combat, dark humor, and survival. With fists flying and bullets blazing, he battles through the chaos to clear his name—only to face one last twist.

Hostile Takeover stars Michael Jai White, Dawn Olivieri, Aimee Stolte, and Aleks Paunovic.

Hostile Takeover arrives in cinemas and on digital on August 8th.
