PREVIEW: First Shift (2025 Film) - Uwe Boll Returns with Gritty New Buddy Cop Thriller

Preview by Jon Donnis

Renowned filmmaker and provocateur Uwe Boll (Rampage, In the Name of the King, Postal) is back with his latest high-octane crime thriller, First Shift, which makes its UK debut this May. This gripping film stars Gino Anthony Pesi and Kristen Renton as an unlikely pair of detectives who must join forces to take down a ruthless criminal gang. First Shift will be available on digital from Plaion Pictures this May.

Prepare for a heart-pounding ride as the story follows two New York law enforcement officers on their very first shift together. Their day on the job quickly escalates, with challenges ranging from dealing with drug lords and solving a murder, to rescuing a stranded dog when its owner falls ill.

Angie (Renton) is a rookie cop who documents every moment of her life on social media, while Deo (Pesi) is an experienced, old-school detective with little patience for the modern world and its trends. As they clash over their differing views, sparks fly, but they must find a way to work together to survive the dangers that await them on the streets.

Get ready for First Shift, a thrilling, action-packed buddy cop adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

First Shift is scheduled for release on 19 May 2025 on UK digital platforms.
