Diablo (2025) is a Colombian-American action thriller directed by Ernesto Díaz Espinoza, set for release in theaters and on VOD on June 13, 2025.
The film stars Scott Adkins as Kris Chaney, an ex-convict who, upon his release from prison, kidnaps a young girl named Elisa (played by Alana De La Rossa) to fulfill a promise made to her late mother. Elisa is the daughter of a powerful gangster, Vicente (Lucho Velasco), who responds by hiring a cold-blooded assassin named El Corvo (played by Marko Zaror) to hunt them down.
As Kris and Elisa flee through dangerous territory, Kris must use every skill he learned behind bars to protect her from El Corvo’s relentless pursuit. The film delivers high-impact action sequences, intense hand-to-hand combat, and a surprising emotional depth, particularly in the bond that forms between Kris and Elisa.
Critics have praised Diablo for its brutal and stylish fight choreography, the standout performances from Adkins and Zaror, and its mix of heart, humor, and tension. With a runtime of around 91–100 minutes and an R rating for violence, language, and brief drug use, Diablo is shaping up to be one of the year’s top action films.
