Las Vegas Heist Comedy "Action! Action!" Expands to Arizona and Alaska After Explosive World Premiere

LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, May 15, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Following a high-energy, sold-out premiere at Circa Resort & Casino’s Stadium Swim, the Las Vegas-made action-comedy Action! Action! will expand its theatrical footprint this May with exclusive screenings in Scottsdale, Las Vegas, and Fairbanks, Alaska.

Presented by Black Raven Films, Action! Action! made its world premiere April 25 under the stars on Circa’s 143-foot outdoor screen, drawing nearly 1,000 attendees. The event fused the glamour of a Hollywood red carpet with the electric atmosphere of a Las Vegas pool party.

Chuck Muth of Nevada News & Views praised the film’s authenticity, writing, "Action! Action!” plunges you headfirst into the pulsing heart of REAL Vegas—the gritty, electric, neon-drenched downtown that locals recognize and most tourists never see," and called the film “an absolute blast from start to finish.”

Directed, produced and starring Las Vegas local Adam Kilbourn, alongside co-director Danny Shepherd, Action! Action! Is a high-octane heist film that celebrates the neon-soaked spirit of downtown Las Vegas. The story follows a team of quirky misfits on a mission to steal a priceless Al Capone painting from The Mob Museum-–resulting in explosive stunts, comedic chaos and high-speed chases across Fremont Street, Plaza Hotel, World Market Center and other city landmarks.
