Swelter: Exclusive Jean-Claude Van Damme Trailer

Jean-Claude Van Damme is back, but then again he never left, did he? The Muscles from Brussels keeps making one film after another, like the professional actor he is. He’s not going to leave us to become a governor or a local sheriff. He’s a movie star. He makes movies. And his latest, Swelter, looks like a pretty good one in this CraveOnline Exclusive trailer.

Jean-Claude Van Damme co-stars in Swelter as a member of “The Rat Pack,” a team of thieves that pulled off a huge heist in Las Vegas but emerge ten years later to seek out the one member who didn’t go to jail (Lennie James, “The Walking Dead”), and who may have the rest of the cash. But he’s been the sheriff of a dying town for years, and wouldn’t you know it, he seems to have no memory of ever doing the job in the first place.

Swelter premiers on DVD and Blu-ray on August 12, 2014. Check out the trailer above, a new gallery of stills below, and the list of special features.

From the Press Release:

Synopsis:

SWELTER is the story of the most notorious robbery in Las Vegas history. Five men, nicknamed the Rat Pack, hit the Luxor Casino for over one hundred million dollars. Four of the men are soon captured, while one barely escapes. Ten years later, after blasting their way out of a maximum-security prison, the four jailed members of the Rat Pack are hot on the trail of their former accomplice and the remaining ten million in stolen cash. The trail leads them to a dying desert town less than a hundred miles from the scene of the crime where they find their former partner is not the man he once was…he’s become a law-abiding sheriff without any memory of his past. The sheriff must now remember his violent history in order to protect all that he holds dear.
