Kerry Washington plays a secret agent who'll stop at nothing to protect her son in the thriller, Shadow Force, out in theaters Friday. She says she was drawn to the film because it balances action and emotion.
"It's this incredible opportunity to do action and stunts and weapons training and all of that," she tells ABC Audio of her role as Kyrah in Shadow Force, which marks her first time in the driver's seat of an action movie. "But at the heart of it, it's really about these two parents who love each other and love their child so much that they're willing to do everything and anything to protect him."
