The filmmaking duo of Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley come together once again to write and direct their first feature film since the underappreciated “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves”. Their latest is “Mayday”, an action adventure comedy featuring the unlikely comic pairing of Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh. The film also stars Maria Bakalova, Marcin Dorocinski, and David Morse. The newly released official trailer sells the movie well by showing off some electric action and genuinely funny humor.

Set in 1987, “Mayday” follows an American fighter pilot named Troy “Assassin” Kelly who is shot down over the Russian wilderness. He is rescued and hidden from the Soviet forces by Nikolai Ustinov, an off-the-grid ex-KGB agent with an unusual affection for American culture. With Nikolai’s help, Troy sets out to escape from enemy territory which opens the door to a number of big action set pieces and comic encounters. This could be a lot of fun.

“Mayday” premieres September 4th exclusively on Apple TV+. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
