Lights Out is a 2024 action thriller directed by Christian Sesma and written by Chad Law and Garry Charles. The film was released theatrically in the United States by Quiver Distribution on February 16, 2024 — it has already come and gone from theaters, so this is a released film rather than an upcoming one. It stars Frank Grillo as a drifting, combat-haunted veteran who turns underground fighter with the help of an ex-con manager, pulling him into conflict with a crime boss and corrupt cops. Reception was mixed: Rotten Tomatoes lists it at 35% from critics, in line with Christian Sesma’s other genre-VOD action thrillers.
