The 47-year-old star has joined Mel Gibson and Vince Vaughn in the movie, to be directed by S Craig Zahler, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Production on the film will start in Vancouver, British Columbia, later this month.
Gibson and Vaughn will play two police detectives who find themselves suspended when a video of their strong-arm tactics is leaked to the media, while Holden will essay the role of a former officer on the force and wife of Gibson's character.
