Tyler Rake is a disillusioned mercenary who takes a job in Bangladesh to extract the kidnapped son of an Indian crime boss. The mission seems straightforward at first, but Rake eventually discovers that he's up against the entire city of Dhaka. John Wick meets Man on Fire in this relentless action flick about an ex-military man who has a chance to redeem himself by killing 183 people (official Netflix figure) just to keep one kid safe. In his directorial debut, former stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave stages some exciting and adrenaline-fuelled set pieces on the cramped and over-crowded streets of Dhaka, but the movie goes on too long in this monotonous fashion. Hell, even the end titles are more than 12 minutes long. Based on the graphic novel Ciudad by Ande Parks.
