Here are some more details about those three buzzy new Lionsgate films, according to a press release:
An action thriller starring Academy Award-nominee John Malkovich ("Red") and Frank Grillo ("Avengers: Endgame"), "Shattered" follows lonely tech millionaire Chris (Cameron Monaghan, "Shameless") who encounters charming, sexy Sky (Lily Krug, "Every Breath You Take"), and passion grows between them. When he’s injured, she quickly steps in as his nurse. But Sky’s odd behavior makes Chris suspect that she has more sinister intentions, especially when Sky’s roommate is found dead from mysterious causes.

John Cusack ("Grosse Pointe Blank") and Emile Hirsch ("Into the Wild") star in this action thriller about a tough cop’s hunt for an even tougher criminal. Detective Breslin crosses paths with Calloway (Hirsch), a ruthless hacker desperate to find his wife, who has been kidnapped by a drug cartel. When Calloway escapes police custody, Breslin joins forces with a no-nonsense female cop to reclaim his prisoner.
