Produced by Wonder Film and ILBE, this action-packed film was introduced by the illustrious actor Gerard Butler on Sunday and received resounding acclaim, many hailing Weintrob's directorial prowess and the cast’s captivating performance. 

Paradox Effect delves into the story of Karina (Kurylenko) as she confronts the formidable gangster Silvio (Keitel) in a desperate mission to rescue her abducted daughter, Lucy.
