Die Like a Man (2025)

Die Like a Man is a gritty 2025 crime thriller that follows the story of Freddy, a teenager caught in a world of violence, loyalty, and impossible choices. On his 16th birthday, Freddy receives a Magnum .44, a handful of bullets, and a deadly mission—eliminate his mentor’s rival, a former gangster who has since turned his life around. What begins as a test of courage quickly spirals into a conflict of conscience as Freddy must decide whether to follow orders or forge his own path.

Directed and written by Eric Nazarian, the film explores themes of masculinity, survival, and redemption. Set against the bleak backdrop of an unforgiving urban landscape, the narrative challenges traditional ideas of heroism and asks what it truly means to “die like a man.” The tension is unrelenting, and the emotional stakes rise with every scene as Freddy’s inner struggle intensifies.

The cast brings emotional depth and realism to the story. Miguel Angel Garcia delivers a compelling performance as Freddy, portraying the fear and confusion of a young man thrust into adulthood far too early. Frankie Loyal plays Sam, a complex figure whose past continues to cast long shadows. Mariel Molino as Luna and Cory Hardrict round out the cast with strong supporting roles that anchor the story in emotional truth.
