The Colonel TRAILER starring Kevin Durand 

My high school foot ball coach was such a man, giving boys what they needed most, developing all of us into strong and confident men along the way. A lesson I've held onto my entire life through my military career and now through retirement. America needs these men of character now more than ever because what will happen to this great nation when the next war comes to our shores and there are none left.

"Based on a true story". So it has a colonel of truth in it.

Way back in antiquity when I was in school, my PE teacher was a Kongo vet. At first we all hated him, but with the clarity of 20-20 hindsight I later realized what he was doing I love him for it. I am now a vet myself and I realize I have been passing along (worked as a teacher for a while) a lot of his teachings to the next generation.

Kevin Durand was born to play this part! He's an underestimated actor that hasn't gotten the roles to show his true talent yet,..hopefully everyone will see his potential now!

SO GLAD Kevin Durand is leading a quality picture. This man is an absolutely incredible actor. Not sure if he has a lousy agent or casting agents are clueless dullards- but he is an incredible talent and can act circles around many of the “stars” of today.

I can't believe it. I played three years under the Colonel and they are making a movie about him. KDID

Kevin Durand is such a underrated actor.

This was posted in 2016. Why am I only seeing it now? Love Kevin "Tree" Durant

My JUCO football coach was a Korean war veteran, Chosin Reservoir. 100% badass. 140 came out for the team, he ran drills to run off those "who didn't want to be there." When there were 70 left, that was the team. Hell, we could of had no QBs, or RBs, or WRs. It didn't matter. He won three NJCCA national championships.

Kevin is totally underrated as a character actor. He has an unusual look - not unhandsome - but he's not conventionally leading man material and I think that's why he may be overlooked. But I would put him against a Cruise or a Craig or a Pitt any day of the week (and I'm just listing off leading men, not necessarily good actors). He's done a couple of 'okay' (or maybe not so okay ) movies in 'Legion' and "Dark was the Night", but he made those roles so stand-out. Those movies are worth watching for him alone. In Legion, he's particularly engaging as Gabriel - tormented, dedicated. Now I have to go watch it again!

I work in a factory. When I started, everyone talked about the Plant Manager. How tough he was, how at any moment he would just appear, seemly from nowhere. You better be doing something productive, after all we are paying you. Day or night, weekends, or holidays when we were closed, he may just show up. After all, there was a couple of guys there to watch the boilers, and fire alarms. They were getting paid. Holiday pay, and maybe overtime. You were not going to just sit around. Many talked bad about how tough he was, but I always felt I knew where I stood, and what they expected of us. He was fair, and in the end, he has a lot of respect from many. He was a Korean War Veteran, who worked his way to an Engineering Degree, after the war on the G.I.Bill. The Colonel kinda reminds me of the old Plant Manager.

2016, how did i miss this one. I needed someone like that when i was a kid, hell I could use someone like that right now. You never really understand how things affected you as a child until you look back with adult eye's. At that point your mistakes and misteps jump out at you.

This was a Short Film released in 2016 that not many people have seen so tell them about it. This should convince producers he's ready for a Feature Film Starring Role. I knew Kevin when he lived in Vancouver and we worked on Beggars & Choosers so it is such a pleasure to see him in a big Starring Role. In real life he is a positive, funny and caring gentleman who also works out very hard. I used to also see Kevin in the Dunbar gym as well which was also Kevin Sorbo's gym, but that is where the comparison ends. Kevin Durand is a guy who would give you the shirt off his back and he has a wonderful outlook on life. When he was young he learned Ballet but he did also play Hockey like a good Canadian boy. I hope to see him in more big roles like this.

My first civilian job was in IT after completing college. My immediate supervisor was an older Korean War vet. We looked at each other like we could shoot in the blink of an eye. He often lectured to others at how I was always 5-10 mins early. I went "online" at a specific time, not pull into the parking lot. After about 4 months, he had to direct me to take a day off. I was given tremendous freedoms because I did not require any supervision. Our department accomplished many things. We were the only 2 in our department more interested in team work than being a standout.

As a retired Colonel, I approve this movie!

Kevin Dunn now that's what I call a proper man's man actor keep on trucking brother man keep on tracking

We need a lot of Colonel like that now a day .

Whenever a kid starts talking about who his father is cuz he doesn't wanna participate or cuz he thinks he's better than others, it's a problem.

I’ve always admired Durand’s acting! Hopefully this will be a standout role for him. He truly deserves it!!

Looking forward to seeing this movie coming out in 5 years ago.

I had the opportunity to meet Kevin Durand at a children's book reading in a public library. True story. My son was running around being a jack ass toddler, and ended up taking a tumble off the amphitheater steps. KD rushed over and helped him up, and joked about his adventurous spirit. We chatted for a bit, along with his wife, and I told him how much I loved him in Lost and other movies/shows. Super sweet guy. Really engaging when you talk to him. Also he's built like he could play forward in the NBA.

I always respect the journeyman actors grinding away for years with all the big names. The guy built himself a solid career.

I went to high school with Kevin Durand many years ago, we were not real close like best friends but friends. He always loved the drama class and was always smiling and friendly to every one. He was pretty tall back then as well. I also remember in the high school year book a question who would likely be the most successful? and the answer from most was Kevin Durand would be. Been following Kevin"s career and so happy he has achieved so much and happy for him. Any way he may not remember who I am but I was one of the first kids at the high school that loved rap and wore the silk track suits with the ball cap on backwards. I was also one of the biggest and muscular kids in school as well I was known for my paintings and drawings. One of my drawings is in that High school year book of our high school with graffiti and garbage on the ground. Hope things are well with you Kevin. =)

I was never in the military but my father was ex-marine vet that taught hand to hand and my scout leader was an ex- drill instructor in the army and I credit these men and others who trained me when I was young to deal with life-Thanks

We need this movie more than ever.

This looks outstanding. I admit i don't watch movies very often these days because Hollywood has forgotten what true men of character and integrity are. Please let this be a movie that restores my faith that we as a nation haven't forgotten what true values are.

Kevin was awesome in Legion. His 10 minutes in the movie was almost perfection.

OK. I am MOST DEFINITELY seeing this movie. We desperately need this kind of message in America today.

I'm really happy to see Kevin Durand in a leading role... he deserves it

This film should be re-release in theaters!

IT is said that Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton, and an empire later forged on the rugby fields of Britain. Pressure creates diamonds from worthless coal, while the finest steel is produced from the forging and tempering of iron. And so it is with humans. As my Drill Instructor constantly said: "I have 12 weeks to correct 18 years of neglect." Good and true lessons that have stood me well over the years.

We could use more coaches/mentors/teachers like this in today's society.

When I think of Kevin Durand I think of Smokin' Aces. The whole movie was freakin' crazy and Kevin hit that nail on the head!😜

I already like this. Now if only the message of this story could be planted into some heads.

The absence of such great men of high discipline in the lives of our young boys today is what gave rise to the overwhelming increase of weaklings amongst our youths today. Tough love have gone extinct unfortunately.

Thats pretty much my high school experience . Hated the slog at the time but appreciate it everyday since I left. Ad definitum finem

He is an awesome actor should be a great movie.

He does not get enough praise for his acting rolls he has always stood out😁👍

Every high school needs this type of Colonel. OOORAH!

Thank you for showing the WHOLE movie

This guy is better in the Legion Movie as Angel Gabriel👏

I really like this actor. Great screen presence.

For some reason, for a while whenever I used to see this actor, I only thought back to the part he played in the movie; Walking Tall with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. He played a backwoods, hillbilly thug named Booth. But, I must admit over time, the body of work I have seen him do since by this fine Canadian actor, he has shown a very good range of acting ability. Not to mention, he’s an avid, die-hard Montreal Canadiens fan. So, I admire him even more. I look forward to seeing this movie.

I love Kevin Durand. He is excellent.

great actor, finally deserve a great leading role and perhaps Oscar Great Actor award for next year!

Another movie that recaptures our true culture. Things may be looking up in Hollyweird.

This looks like Dead Poets Society meets Major Pain

Loved working with Kevin in the past

This looks interesting. Since I have a son going into Middle School, I am hopeful that a movie like this delves into the difficulty of this age...& how contrasting characters can work together for the good of our youth

Made me think of Jr. High. Thanks Coach Garcia wherever you are... You showed us that Lambs can become Lions (and vice versa 🙂)

I would LOVE to see this become a full length feature film! Please :)

We need more Kevin Durand movies. He stole the show in The Strain

Looks a great film and a must watch. Just like the school I went to in Scotland and in the same period.

Looks like this film came out in 2016 as a Short film of 21min long, won several awards back then; but I never saw it... going to have to find it and watch. Love Kevin Durand, he stands out in everything he works on and I'd love to see him as leading man in a full length film.

How th' #$%& did I not know about this movie?!? Kevin Durand kicks ass. I had a PE teacher/coach like this character. He was a hardass that caught flack from other PE teachers & coaches with comments like "They're kids, not soldiers," and "This is high school, not military school." One day after hearing one of those slurs half our class went over to that other teacher and told him we love how our teacher pushes us and to mind his own damn business. I ended up with six-pack abs because of him. _"Pain is weakness leaving the body!"_

Mr Durand, Such an under rated actor. On the watch list.

So happy to see this actor make a lead roll perfect for the job

My late Vice School Principle was A Marine Colonel too. He was among the best teacher for us. At that time we feel fear and discipline. Nowadays, we miss him and his method in teaching us. RIP Colonel (Mar) Abdul Karim Usman (An alumni of Taruna Nusantara High School, Magelang, Indonesia)

Wow this is the kind of movie that I am long waiting for. Kevin Durand is right for the role.

Never even heard of this movie. Our youths and young adults (I’m one of them) could use this movie right now. We’ve all become soft and doughy.

Kevin is an awesome underrated actor

This reminds me a little of my PE teacher at school (well over 50 years ago) sending us out on cross country runs with all of us wearing only canvas shoes (no socks) and cotton shorts (no top) in the snow and not just once but pretty much every time it snowed. It certainly amused him and we all survived so I suppose we learned something.

Gee, the entire WORLD of today needs a leader like this Colonel, to stop the wokeness that is being pushed down this generations throats. Men need to be real men!!

First time i saw him was in "Walking tall" as a bad guy with the Rock Duane Johnson. He played a bad guy really well. Based on his body of work he can play a lot of roles.

All the best people fall, but only the great stand up again and again to never give in. Thank you.

Blessed be the algorithm that brought us all here

My childhood friend went to school with Kevin in Thunder Bay and even then he stood out among everybody. I liked him in mystery Alaska and wild hogs I think he’s fine Canadian actor I only live 5 hours from Thunder Bay where he’s from.

glad to see kevin durand getting a starring role

Great actor finally given a proper chance to shine

How appropriate for the times. If we went to war every mother will wish their sons and daughters had a Col like this as a teacher.

True, alot of parents don't want the schools pushing their precious little perfect kids too hard, in sports or academics! Been their seen it countless times. Semper Fi!

I love it already! and they picked a great actor too.

How the hell have I missed this????? I will literally watch Kevin Durand in anything. I wouldn't be the slightest bit miffed if he was in every production henceforth.

He is underrated terribly, and this looks good

It's some movie American kids need ! Discipline and courage !

This video was made/posted in 2016.... all the comments are from the last 72hrs.... seems Hollywood and youtube didnt want this video to be known of for four+ yrs

Kevin looks like he's made out of flint, this is perfect.

Loved Durand in The Strain. Excellent actor.

Kevin has been around for a While and when Ever I see Him in Something I Know He and It will be Great. He was Great as the Guy Roxy was having a Bad Day and His Character was Being a Bully to Her and She Reached in and Pulled His Soul out of His Body to get Him to be a better Person in 1 Episode of Season 1 of Dead Like Me. He Played Lord Supokna in 2 Episodes of Stargate and His Character was Several Thousand Years Old and He Played Him as a Pampas Arrogant Smart Ass as all Guauld (THE GUAULD WERE THE BAD GUYS ) were and He was Perfect for that Character, Especially because of His Size. The Best so Far that I am aware of was His Character of a New York City Employee (Animal Control)and what He was, was basically a Rat Catcher for the City who Became a Main Character in The FX Channel Series The Strain and that Ran for 4 Seasons and His Character was Pivotal in carrying the Story and Many Episodes were Specifically Centered around His Character and He Carried a lot of the Scenes for all of the 4 Seasons. May be Some Day His Fans will get to see Him Explode on to the Scene as He SOOOO Rightly Deserves. Or, Maybe He is Like Many Actors who a Very Selective of What they A sign their Name on and to. Any Way , He is a Great Actor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice to see Durand get a starring roll.

5 years ago????? Why haven't I heard of, or watched this movie???? HOOAH!!!

About time Kevin Durand gets the main role!

I think this is a movie every young american should see .we need this one right now.

The Colonel was in the 6-season TV series LOST. He played a tough former Marine Sargeant Major mercinary who got on the bad side.

This looks like The Mighty Ducks 3 in a different wrapping... Coach Orion : [picks hockey puck up off the ice and addresses the Ducks] What's the one thing all great teams have in common? Lester Averman : Great coaching. Coach Orion : [unamused] Don't try to suck up to me, Averman. [pause] Coach Orion : Defense. See, unlike scoring, defense never quits, but to play great defense, you need one thing above all else. Lester Averman : [sarcastically to Goldberg] Bet it starts with a "W." Coach Orion : Confidence. Listen, if you learn nothing else when you're here, you learn this. All right? 'Cause it's not just about hockey. It's easy to be confident when you have control of the puck. It's very, very difficult to keep that confidence when you gotta take whatever strange bounces life throws your way. Don't be careless, but don't be too careful either. You cannot be afraid to lose. That's how you gain the confidence to attack the game when the puck isn't yours. That's how you attack life even when you think you don't have any control. And that's how you play real defense.

Looks good. Finally Kevin Durand in a starring role.

Semper Fi. Never heard of this movie, I've got to watch it now

Tha Hell? Was this movie one of those "Direct to Video" deals? Because this is literally the first time I've ever heard of it.

OK so a 2016 well made and thoughtful movie about a strong male lead teaching discipline, sacrifice , courage and commitment to young boys so they turn into strong capable men gets buried at the cinemas never to be seen again..... colour me shocked

I absolutely love Kevin Durand. He's awsome

Daaang finally!!!!! KD had a break!!!! This gonna be awesome! Great well rounded underrated actor.

He should play Coach Buzzcut in a live action version of Beavis and Butt-Head

This movie got a Mighty Ducks feeling to it, never heard of it until i saw this trailer.

Hold up....this JUST came up in my feed....and this came out YEARS AGO? I guess the Algorithm knows what We need today huh....

Kevin Durand playing a good guy? Never thought I’d see the day

Kevin Durand great actor.

I *LOVED* Kevin as The Blob in the XMen series. I wondered when his talent would get him a lead role. "She's a gym-nast." :D :D :D

Reminds me of my grandfather. He was a fighter pilot during WW2.

My dad was a colonel in the army…and he ran the household like his barracks.

What a great actor...
