Watch Falcon Rising

In this first installment in a new action thriller series an ex-marine fights to avenge the attack of his sister. John Chapman (Michael Jai White), codenamed Falcon, is suffering from crippling guilt and prone to PTSD induced flashbacks. His combat related trauma has led him to put himself recklessly into increasingly dangerous situations.

His sister Cindy (Laila Ali) is a social worker who is working in the slums of Brazil when she is brutally attacked by a gang of local thugs. Chapman then travels to Sao Paulo with the backing of the United States State Department to find the criminals in question and extract revenge. With the help of a local cop he soon finds him pitted against organized crime elements in the form of the Japanese Yakuza, and makes use of his considerable martial arts skills in the process.

Directed by Ernie Barbarash. Also starring Neal McDonough, Millie Ruperto, and Masashi Odate.
