About Killer Ex:
Making his big-screen acting debut, New Jersey-based international martial artist Grandmaster Jose Luis Torres II plays Victor, an altruistic, clever, and powerful ex-assassin turned family man who is forced back into his former life when his ex shows up with a slew of killers after her. Torn between his love for his family and desire to protect his ex, Victor Reyes attempts to walk a fine line while maintaining his integrity and reputation while ensuring the woman he once loved isn’t killed.
With thrilling fight scenes, laugh-out-loud scenes, and relatable characters, Killer Ex stands to make martial arts movie history as the demand for more screenings continues to rise. Filmed mostly in South Jersey and Reading, PA, Killer Ex features many local performers as well as martial arts film icons like Mohammad (Michel) Qissi and William Christopher Ford, along with the killer ex herself, actress Elena Churinova. Churinova brings grace and charm to the screen with her witty demeanor and unapologetic attitude, offering a refreshing compliment to the family man Reyes.
Torres is a 9th-degree Tang Soo Do Black belt and decorated martial artist from Edgewater Park, NJ. His martial arts career began in 1982 under Master William Hamilton. Over 40 years later, Torres has seen great success, including the opening of the Team Torres Martial Arts franchise, after-school programs for the youth, the production of international and domestic martial arts events, and so much more.
As a martial arts master, father of three, and college soccer coach, Victor Reyes’s role was seemingly written with Torres in mind.
“It is an unbelievable opportunity to be cast as the lead for this film,” shared Torres. Director Jim Towns is an outstanding director and writer. I am excited to bring the character Victor Reyes to life. The whole cast of the film is truly top-notch. Both William Christopher Ford and Mohammed Qissi are amazing human beings who have starred in iconic martial arts films. I’m truly honored to work with them. It’s a dream come true.”
