COHEN directed and edited by OUSA KHUN Visit RedHerringMovie.com Copyright © Red Herring, LLC Cohencidence Productions, LLC in association with GotFilms presents a new action / suspense / neo-noir murder mystery. A Las Vegas Homicide Detective investigates his best friend, while matching wits against the infamous Blue Screen of Death assassin, hunting through Las Vegas’s power elite. 90 minutes, Shot on Red in stunning 4K. SUMMARY: Jack Adamson, played by Robert Scott Howard in one of his first leading roles, is a charming Las Vegas homicide detective involved with Las Vegas’s most successful - but questionable - characters. Visit RedHerringMovie.com Copyright © Red Herring, LLC Forced to work a job he hates by made-man Saffiote (played by Vincent Pastore of “The Sopranos’”), Jack finds refuge with his best friend, Roy Ridell (“General Hospital’s” Tim Tucker), who is also the prime suspect in the murder of his former associate, Wilkinson. Meanwhile Roy’s wife Angela (“Taken’s” Holly Valance) has been encouraging Roy to give up on Vegas and move them all to the Caribbean. Visit RedHerringMovie.com Copyright © Red Herring, LLC Roy’s adopted brother Damon (Chyna McCoy of “The Matrix” 1&2), just released from prison, has re-entered their lives. Since Jack was the one who busted Damon, tensions are high. Despite the fact that this is the first time in years these childhood friends have all been together, Jack and Damon are still weary of each other. There’s a brief scuffle with Kyusovich (Russian hand combat champion Eduard Osipov) and his thugs, but Jack and Damon work together to resolve the situation. They reluctantly toast to the gang being back together again. Jack is assigned by the Captain (Jean Sulli) and Mayor (real life Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman of “Casino”) to assist Mason White (G. Eric Miles), a detective on loan from LAPD. It turns out White investigated Roy in two coincidental deaths several years prior. During the course of their investigation, two more associates of Roy’s - Kyusovich and Chaise - meet with seemingly random deaths. Evidence mounts against Roy, who had motive, but also alibis – or possibly Damon, who has already re-entered the criminal underworld. Visit RedHerringMovie.com Copyright © Red Herring, LLC Jack’s personal life slowly infects his investigation. Roy’s secretary, Kim (Olivia Arellano), is infatuated with him. Even with the assistance of her friend (played by Playmate and internet star Bobbi Billard), she can’t take a hint that Jack won’t let himself get involved with anyone. The memory of his past love, an unnamed Blonde Woman (PMOY Corinna Harney-Jones), constantly haunts him. Since Roy’s alibis are solid, Jack and White conclude the only way for him to have been involved is if a professional assassin, nicknamed the Blue Screen of Death, is as well. Jack finds Damon sparring with MMA star Wanderlei Silva. Damon challenges Jack to one round in the ring for the answers he’s looking for. Jack puts up a good fight, but can’t overpower Damon (All actors performed their own fight scenes). Jack and White follow Damon’s connections to a restaurateur in Tijuana named “El Corredor” (Reniet Ramirez), who has been brokering the murders. Visit RedHerringMovie.com Copyright © Red Herring, LLC Everyone becomes a suspect. White uncovers evidence that Damon was never actually in jail, but in fact overseas. Kysovich’s connections hint that the Russian mafia may be making a play on the city. But there is also enough evidence to link Roy to the killings, so a warrant is issued. Roy turns himself in. They realize that all their evidence on him is circumstantial, so they release him. Finally, in a private confrontation with Jack, Roy admits that he put the Russians in touch with El Corredor over a year ago, but nothing came of it, so he assumed they dropped it. They realize the prime suspect is actually Quarrie, but when they find him, he had already slashed his own wrists. Jack tells the Captain that he suspects his partner Mason of being the Blue Screen. While the evidence is circumstantial, all the pieces do fit. The Captain tells him to keep it quiet until he can find some hard evidence. Visit RedHerringMovie.com Copyright © Red Herring, LLC Alone in their office, Jack pushes to keep the Blue Screen case open, but Mason refuses. Jack confronts Damon, attending a Muay Thai tournament, asking why he faked going to prison and how he’s involved with Roy’s bloodmoney. Damon can’t tell him about prison, but swears that he only got $10,000. Jack realizes that Kim is the only one who actually knows where the other $50,000 went. Roy drags Angela with him to follow Damon down to El Corredor’s restaurant in Tijuana to confront him in person. Reveal: it was Angela who hired El Corredor for all the hits. She hires him for one last job with a cash payment and a sealed envelope. Roy gets Damon to admit that he was the one who introduced Angela to El Corredor. Roy confronts Angela about the murders, and she admits she had the blackmailers killed so that she and Roy could be left alone. He accepts her and agrees to move to the islands. Visit RedHerringMovie.com Copyright © Red Herring, LLC Jack goes in to confront El Corredor. It looks like El Corredor is reaching for a gun, but in fact hands Jack an Angela’s envelopes of money and her new assignment – Jack is the Blue Screen. A series of flashbacks show Jack committing all the murders. He opens the assignment to reveal the target is El Corredor. Jack instantly shoots him. While El Corredor is dying, Jack tells him about his first animal kill, and that he doesn’t like what he has to do, but he is fascinated by it. On his way back to America, Jack remembers his last day with the Blonde Woman, as the weight of what he’s become lands on him. Jack, Roy, Angela and Damon get together one last time and toast to the gang being back together again.
