...shuddering naked woman strung up in the meat locker was not the problem. Neither was the guy ripping through chains embedded in his flesh to dismantle a ticking bomb in front of him.

That genius has been difficult to flesh out, as Phillips described, “Just overall, it’s a tough process, and everyone who does it knows it’s tough.” The duo wasn’t without theatrical experience, however. Phillips drew on his time in a College screenwriting course. Kollmer, a veteran...
