Patrick Warburton Plays An Action Hero in This EDGE OF TOMORROW-Style Short Film

I don't know about you, but I loved Doug Liman's Edge of Tomorrow. The film used a Groundhog Day-esque approach to storytelling, having Tom Cruise's character relive the same day until he ultimately became a badass soldier. Now there's a new short film that puts Seinfeld star Patrick Warburton in the lead role of a loose cannon cop who gets killed dozens of times while trying to save a hostage from a group of bad guys.

It's called The Action Hero's Guide to Saving Lives, and it comes from the mind of director Justin Lutsky. The short comically skewers some of the most ridiculous action movie cliches in the vein of Last Action Hero, and it reminds me that I'd like to see Warburton appear in more mainstream films. I believe he's reprising his role from Ted in the upcoming sequel, so that's probably the closest we'll get to seeing him on the big screen for a little while. After seeing this, though, maybe someone will cast him as a lead in a cop movie. For more, including some behind-the-scenes photos, check out the short's official website.
