Directed and co-written by Ari Kruger and Daniel Zimbler, crime comedy, The Shakedown is set to stream on Prime Video on August 8th.
THE SHAKEDOWN is a Fargo-esque comedy-of-errors that follows Justin Diamond, a well-respected family man and medical aid broker who finds himself being blackmailed after his physiotherapist threatens to reveal the secret of their affair.
Desperate to maintain his golden boy reputation, Justin teams up with his ‘black sheep’ brother Dovi, to handle the escalating chaos. However, both their actions lead them down a path filled with dangerous criminals, mistaken identities, and comic mishaps into the clumsiness of the Cape Town underworld.
THE SHAKEDOWN stars Carl Beukes, Emmanuel Castis, Julia Anastasopoulos, Berenice Barbier, and Jack Parow.
