Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Dave Golder

Low-budget action thrillers rarely come more blandly efficient than this vehicle for martial-arts expert Scott Adkins. He stars as a former MI6 agent who quit after his wife was killed during a botched mission in Ukraine. Now earning his keep as an itinerant cage fighter, he's forced back into his old life when a Russian journalist starts asking questions about Kyiv, drawing the attention of both MI6 and the KGB. The film tries hard to be more than just a series of efficient but unmemorable shoot-outs and fists fight. Adkins's character is given a precocious pre-teen daughter to care for, while the villains have more depth than you might expect. However, these efforts are half-baked and clumsy, and the young girl is especially irritating. Adkins isn't given a decent, fan-pleasing showcase for his skills, either. Instead, he makes do with bog-standard shooting and punching as the film aims for gritty realism but entirely misses the mark.
