RLJ Entertainment scored U.S. rights to Bushwick out of the Sundance Film Festival.

Featuring Dave Bautista, Bushwick also stars Brittany Snow, Dave Bautista, Angelic Zambrana, Jeremie Harris, Myra Lucretia Taylor, Alex Breaux and Arturo Castro.

Fred Topel reviewed the film out of the festival, explaining that Bushwick is “a solid vehicle for Bautista to be a badass in extreme violence,” further adding that “not all of the twists are as clever as they think.

Lucy emerges from a Brooklyn subway to find that her neighborhood is under attack by black-clad military soldiers. An ex-Marine corpsman, Stupe, reluctantly helps her fight for survival through a civil war, as Texas attempts to secede from the United States of America.
