Sad to see septuagenarian Pierce Brosnan acting his age as an old-time hitman and, as directed by septuagenarian Phillip Noyce, the film has a similar slo-mo feel to it. Even sadder is seeing nonagenarian James Caan in one of his last roles. No amount of jaunty muzak on the soundtrack can disguise a sad, tired film from first frame to last.
A crime thriller that feels like a throwback to the 90s with Pierce Brosnan starring in a role that feels it was written for a slightly younger man. He's Charlie, a fixer for mob boss Stan (James Caan in his final film). When Stan's crew gets assassinated Charlie, surviving the attempt on his own life, goes all vengeful on the gang that are responsible. The film is thankfully short and sharp, it offers no real surprises and boasts a couple of solid action set pieces and Morena Baccarin as a resourceful love interest who helps Charlie on his mission. This is a reasonably entertaining thriller with dark comedy vibes that does exactly what you expect.
