Bang

William Bang is a ruthless hitman who survives a near-fatal assassination attempt and decides to turn his back on the gang that made him. He leaves a life of contracts and violence hoping to make amends with those he hurt and to quiet his conscience, but walking away doesn't erase what he did. Old partners see his departure as betrayal, rival killers smell opportunity, and a growing list of people want him dead. With the law and the underworld closing in, Bang moves through city streets and shuttered safe houses trying to reconcile a violent past with a desire for forgiveness, while every step toward redemption makes him a more dangerous target. Old debts and uneasy alliances complicate his path.

Released in 2025, Bang was directed by Wych Kaosayananda and developed from original material by Ken Solarz and Peter M. Lenkov, notably featuring Jack Kesy in the title role alongside Peter Weller, Tristin Mays, Kane Kosugi, and Steve Bastoni respectively.
