CAST Chris Hemsworth, Rudhraksh Jaiswal, Randeep Hooda, Golshifteh Farahani
PLOT When Ovi (Rudhraksh Jaiswal), the teenage son of a ruthless Indian drug lord, is kidnapped by a rival, Australian mercenary Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth) is deployed to Dhaka with orders to retrieve the boy, and shoot pretty much anyone who gets in his way. But as he gets in deeper, Rake finds that he’s prepared to risk everything to get Ovi out alive.
THE FIRST is that, yes, Chris Hemsworth’s character in this relentless actioner is called Tyler Rake and, yes, in a triumph for nominative determinism, he actually kills a couple of bad guys with a rake. So we should probably thank our lucky stars that he wasn’t called Keith Dildo.
