Although a pandemic has struck the world, director Deon Taylor hasn t stopped working in one way or another. I ve been active in terms of getting things done during this time.

Taylor, who grew up in Gary, just had his latest film released Friday by Lionsgate. The movie Fatale, which was supposed to be released in the summer, stars Hilary Swank, Michael Ealy, Mike Colter, Danny Pino and Tyrin Turner.

Hilary Swank and Michael Ealy star in Deon Taylor s thriller about a married man whose life unravels after he has a one-night stand with the wrong woman.
There should be a limit to the number of plot twists a film can spring on an audience. Sure, it s okay for fiendishly clever puzzlers like

Such is the case with this effort directed by Deon Taylor and starring Hilary Swank as the titular femme fatale.
