The trailer for Bad Man has been released, giving us a wild first look at Seann William Scott’s latest role as a small-town deputy caught in the middle of a twisted backwoods drug war.
Directed by Michael Diliberti, who makes his feature debut after co-writing 30 Minutes or Less, this offbeat action comedy is set in the meth-riddled town of Colt Lake, Tennessee.
Scott plays Deputy Sam Evans, a washed-up hometown hero who’s become a bit of a joke around town. When murder hits close to home, Evans is put on the case, but his investigation is hijacked by the arrival of Rob Riggle’s Bobby Gaines, an undercover narc tasked with cleaning up the streets.
Gaines is immediately hailed as a hero by the townsfolk, but as Evans starts digging, it becomes clear something shady is going on.
Bad Man leans into its strange Southern noir energy, and the trailer teases an off-kilter tone that’s more weird than witty, but in a way that might just work. With Chance Perdomo and Johnny Simmons also along for the ride, the film looks like a mix of quirky character drama and chaotic backwoods violence.
Bad Man will hit VOD in the UK on September 15, 2025, via Vertigo Releasing. No US release yet.
