Screen Rant can exclusively present a clip from the new action thriller Code Name Banshee, which arrives in theaters July 1 and is set to be available simultaneously On Demand. The new movie stars Antonio Banderas (far from his cuddly Puss In Boots image and closer to his action origins) and Jaime King (Black Summer) as assassins who must join forces after a long time.

The film follows Caleb (Banderas), a former government assassin in hiding, who learns from his protégé Banshee (King) that a hefty bounty has been placed on his head and one of their enemies is seeking to collect.
