🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Pure action cinema — no pretensions to depth, but an honest bet on adrenaline. The director works within the genre's rules with genuine competence. The pace allows no breathing room.
No unexpected twists, no pretense of any. If you want to think, watch something else. If you want a film that keeps you in your seat for two hours — here it is.
Good for an evening when you want spectacle without effort. Not for those waiting on narrative revelations.
Director: John Michael McDonagh
