After playing a string of outlandish badasses like the intimidating thug Big Chris in Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, a gonzo soccer hooligan in the zany comedy Eurotrip, and the unstoppable Juggernaut in X-Men: The Last Stand, British footballer-turned-leading man Vinnie Jones has been turning to more earnest drama of late. In January, he signed on to co-star in the World War I film The 34th Battalion, and now he's lined up for a gritty thriller called The Killer's List.
Deadline reports The Killer's List has Jones attached to play a widower and retired hitman whose forced to return to his killer craft once son is kidnapped. The script by Brian Vining kicks off with Jones' character receiving a cardboard box that contains a cell phone, demands that he murder five of his former associates, and the fingers of his young son. Yipes. With a plot point like that, we anticipate this thriller will be brutal.
