Watch If

you've seen every other 'man with a past protects innocent' movie and need another fix, or you're a completist for Ric Roman Waugh's filmography.

Skip If

you expect anything beyond the most basic, predictable action movie tropes. Your time is worth more than this.

Best Consumed While

folding laundry, scrolling on your phone, or otherwise distracted. It's background noise, not cinema.
