Top fixer / mercenary Chris Hemsworth agrees to undertake an impossible mission by going into a prison and rescuing the wife and children of a dangerous gangster who has arranged for them to be with him in jail. In the battle to get the wife and kids out, the gangster is killed by Hemsworth incurring the great displeasure of his equally unpleasant brother who now seeks revenge.
Whilst the plot is simplicity itself, this is all done with so much panache it is a constantly breathtaking roller coaster ride. The camerawork and editing are excellent and the stunt work, action set pieces and effects are second to none. The villain is as nasty as they come and Hemsworth is fabulously tough in the lead. Great, visceral fun - presumably more will follow.
