Mental Slapstick LLC (www.mentalslapstick.com) and SpectiCast are proud to release 'a brilliant period heist movie' : The Red Machine which will hit theaters on January 20, 2012.

The award-winning hit of several independent film festivals, including the Sedona and Williamsburg International Film Festivals, The Red Machine is the intriguing story of an unlikely duo who team up to do the impossible - compromise the Japanese militaries’ most top-secret encoding device!

It’s 1935 at the height of the Great Depression and the Japanese Military has a new cryptogram unlike any other. The US Naval Intelligence is baffled; they only know one thing: that they must steal it undetected. Two guys are perfect for the job. Lt. F. Ellis Coburn (Lee Perkins) is a mysterious United States Naval spy with a shady past and resolute demeanor. Eddie Doyle (Donal Thoms-Cappello) is a talkative and cocky yet surprisingly charming thief who can silently and flawlessly break into anywhere and steal anything without being seen. Together they could be unstoppable, if they don’t kill each other first! The mismatched pair soon discovers that the mission they were given is not what they signed up for and they must put aside their differences to find a way to outsmart some of the smartest people in the world. Written and directed by Stephanie Argy and Alec Boehm, The Red Machine has impeccable performances, intelligent story lines and conspiracies within conspiracies that will have audiences on the edge of their seats!
