While following a criminal’s journey through the judicial system as they stand trial for their alleged crimes is the legal way for their victims to avenge the wrongs that have been committed against them, taking authority into their own hands is at times the only way the people who have suffered feel as though they can vindicate the offense. Such is the case with Dean Cain’s character, Chicago Detective Mason Danvers, in the action drama, ‘Vendetta.’ The film, which Lionsgate Home Entertainment will release on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital HD on Tuesday, August 18, follows the investigator as he seeks his own personal vengeance on the man who killed his wife, even though he’s well aware of the personal consequences of his actions.

The following synopsis for ‘Vendetta,’ which was distributed in theaters and On Demand on June 12, has been released by Lionsgate:
Dean Cain and WWE Superstar The Big Show star in ‘Vendetta,’ an action-packed thriller about a detective pushed beyond his limits who will stop at nothing for vengeance. When his wife is killed by a criminal that he put away, Mason (Cain), a hard-nosed detective, deliberately gets arrested in order to get revenge. While inside, Mason discovers a new criminal enterprise that those behind it would kill to protect.
‘Vendetta,’ which was written by Justin Shady, reunites ‘See No Evil 2‘ directors Jen and Sylvia Soska with production company WWE Studios and distributor Lionsgate. Besides Cain, the film also stars Paul Wright, who’s better known by his WWE stage name, Big Show, Ben Hollingsworth and Matthew MacCaull. Actor Michael Eklund, who’s a frequent collaborator of the twin helmers, who are collectively known as The Soska Sisters, also appears in the action drama.
