New Delhi: The streaming service Lionsgate Play is re-releasing classic films and giving them a second chance at success in the modern digital marketplace. Die in a Gunfight, an upcoming thriller on the OTT platform, is based on a cult classic story and was highly anticipated upon its 2021 theatrical premiere, adding to the growing number of thrillers in the genre. The movie will be re-released on June 7 via Lionsgate Play.
Love and optimism are important themes in the film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The plot revolves around the Rathcarts and the Gibbons, two feuding families, and the romantic relationship between two members of each.
Plot
Young Ben Gibbons develops feelings for Mary Rathcart, the daughter of a rival of his father’s. Hitmen and murderers are after them as they embark on a clandestine romance that rekindles after a long separation. A much bloodier turn than the original story’s intended purpose is served by the plot.
Re-release Date
Die in a Gunfight is the most recent addition to the slate of titles available in the Lionsgate Play app’s forthcoming area. Both reviewers and moviegoers had mixed reactions to the film when it premiered in theatres in 2021. But when June 7, 2024 rolls along, it will be fascinating to see it all over again. The movie will be available in Hindi, English, Tamil, and Telegu.

Cast and Crew
Ben Gibbon (Diego Boneta), Mary Rathcart (Alexandra Daddario), Terrence Uberahl (Justin Chatwin), Mukul (Wade Allain-Marcus), Barbie (Emmanuelle Chriqui), Wayne (Travis Fimmel), Nancy Gibbon (Nicola Correia-Damude), William Rathcart (John Ralston), Beatrice Rathcart (Michelle Nolden), and many more stars were in the film.

Review
In the film Die in a Gunfight, sarcasm, gunfights, and forbidden romance all come together in a manner that is both odd and horrible. The film, which was directed by Collin Schiffli and takes its inspiration from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, pits two families against one other as their children battle to be together and dispel the generational enmity that has been going on between them.
The movie received a variety of reviews when it was released in theatres in the year 2021. Even though the movie makes a lot of effort to be polished, the evaluations indicate that its attempts are not only unoriginal but also shockingly inept in some areas.
Die in a Gunfight (2021): Initially, I thought this would be a good watch, but it is utterly empty, and almost everything that was intriguing evaporates as it staggers toward its doomed climax.
