Overview: On a remote coastal island, a reclusive man (Jason Statham) rescues a young girl (Bodhi Rae Breathnach) from a deadly storm, drawing them both into danger. Forced out of isolation, he must confront his turbulent past while protecting her, sending them on a tense journey of survival and redemption.

Verdict: The movie’s main asset, obviously, is Statham. As always, he’s cool, likable, and credible. Even if he’s playing the same character that he always plays, his performance doesn’t feel diminished or stale. If any other actor had been in his place, I would’ve given this movie a 4-5/10. With Statham, though, I go for a 7.0/10.

The action scenes, which are plentiful, are fine. Some of them remind me of John Wick, particularly at the end. And that’s no flaw: I love the Wick movies.

A big part of the movie involves Statham’s relationship with the girl. And I think it works. Some of their scenes are heartwarming. The little girl looks adorable, and she never gets annoying (as many characters of her ilk often do).

I have a few gripes with the movie. The core plot with Statham and the little girl works, but the other main plot centers on the British government. Here, the scenes focus on a villain named Manaford and an ambiguous woman named Roberta. I found these government scenes to be slow and unsatisfying. The woman who plays Roberta is not a good actress.

The finale is completely by-the-numbers. Along the way, Statham and the little girl are pursued by some soldier. This soldier comes off like a Temu-Terminator in his behavior ... there are some corny and lazily written lines (You care about her?, one character asks Statham in a syrupy exchange). [M.R.]
