    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

A solid piece of unpretentious action film making with great stunt work, good John wickesque fight choreography, clear emotional stakes, and a charismatic leading turn from Hemsworth. I'm particularly taken with the faux one take car chase shoot out near the midpoint, one of the cooler urban action set pieces since Heat or John Wick Russian club scene.
