About the film

Everyone calls him The Champ – because that’s what he was, once.

Fifteen years ago, he made a fatal mistake, and ever since he’s been working for a violent mob boss, Tlaloc, to pay for it. Now, his one true love is married to Tlaloc, he lives from one rail of coke to the next – and he’s seeing ghosts everywhere he goes.

But when a pollero (human smuggling) handover with a violent Minutemen splinter group goes disastrously wrong, The Champ is set on a collision course with powerful forces on both sides of the border as he seeks justice for a group of murdered migrants – and redemption for himself.

The Dead Sleep Easy features Martin Kove (The Karate Kid, Rambo); Canadian-born international wrestling superstar Ian Hodgkinson (aka El Vampiro); British celebrity gangster and author Dave Courtney (The Krays); Mexican recording star Ana Sidel; and rising Canadian stars Talia Russo (Shoot ‘em Up, 16 Blocks, Mean Girls) and Phil Caracas (Jesus Christ, Vampire Hunter, the Harry Knuckles series) and Aaron Katz.
