As a contract killer, Alex prides himself of his originality, delivery and his precise mind. But it seems that he is losing his ability to remember, bit by bit. And the fact that his brother is being treated for an advanced Alzheimer's disease is another concrete reason for him to retire.

But he is not allowed to retire, not until he finishes his last assignment - a duo target. 

He tracks his first target to his home, strangled him and takes a bunch of flash drives from the safe. 

But as he tracks his second target, he realises that he was tasked to kill a 15 year old girl, Beatriz, who has just been rescued from her own father. Her father, now deceased, was her pimp, selling her off to anyone who fancies little girls. 

He is a killer but he vows to never hurt children, so he tries to cancel the contract and fails. He is now being hunted by other contract killers too.

While he is on the run, he learns that the girl was killed.

Determined to bring justice to the girl and also to clear his name, he tries his level best (despite losing grip of his memory everyday) to bring out the killers and share the intel with Vincent, the FBI agent who rehabilitated the girl, just before she was killed. 

But it seems that both Alex and Vincent are up against much higher power in t heir mission. 

With his current memory condition, can he bring justice for Beatriz?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.5/ 5.0 No new formula here - the same old bad guy turns good to save victims (in this case, brings justice).

However, there's a twist at the end of the movie that sweetens the whole movie. 

Cast: 4.7/ 5.0 Yes, Liam being his best self here. The others delivered as well. 

Will I Watch It Again: I probably would, especially during 'Liam Neeson' theme for movie night. 

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.

  1. Liam Neeson ni macam boleh agak jalan cerita dia macamana. Mesti seorang secret agent nak menolong seseorang. A long the way mesti ada orang jahat yang akan bertarung dengannya tapi sis suka menonton filem yang Liam berlakon. Mendebarkan!
