Dylan H Nov 6 This film follows Luke Wright, an ex-cop turned cage fighter who becomes the target of the Russian mob after refusing to throw a fixed match. On the run and with nothing left to lose, he crosses paths with Mei, a young math prodigy with a photographic memory who holds in her mind a secret numerical code tied to a powerful and highly coveted safe. Pursued by the same Russian mob, the Chinese Triads, and corrupt members of the New York City Police Department—each willing to kill for the code—Luke takes it upon himself to protect Mei and the secrets she carries, while fighting back and seeking revenge on those who destroyed his life. Overall, due to brutal fights and explosive shootouts (memorable moments in a fairly good but otherwise forgettable, run-of-the-mill picture), a gripping and high-stakes story (although the main beats are familiar in this genre and most Statham pictures feel samey, this one has a uniquely interesting plot), the dynamic and heartwarming companionship between Luke and Mei (two completely different characters whose personalities mesh seamlessly, quickly evolving from strangers to friends and, eventually, a makeshift family), and Chan’s impressive and nuanced performance as Mei (a strong debut that defies typical expectations, holding her own against a veteran like Statham while carrying both emotional and comedic scenes), this movie is pretty good, and although I wasn’t a huge fan of the pacing—mainly due to jumpy editing between story beats and tonal shifts, especially early on—and found the ending anticlimactic and somewhat unsatisfying (perhaps intentionally humorous, but it didn’t quite land for me), I still enjoyed my time with this feature. It’s a quick, fun, and entertaining picture that, while not exceptional or grandiose in filmmaking, delivers a satisfying, turn-your-brain-off experience.
