This action thriller is based on a novel by Kevin Wignall. It stars Sam Worthington as an assassin assigned to kill a young woman named Ella (Odeya Rush). Things don’t go according to plan when he in turn becomes her protector. Worthington is made for these sort of films, he’s a great fit for this role. The film has a lot of good action, it’s constantly moving. It has a bit of a Jason Bourne feel to it. I liked that the story moves across Europe, featuring some interesting locales. The Blu-ray and DVD offer three featurettes that are worthy of checking out also. This is a really solid under-the-radar action thriller that doesn’t disappoint.
