This movie takes some typical action thriller clichés such as kidnapping, trafficking, Russian mafia and an ex-soldier returning to the battlefield.
The opening credits sequence explains without much ado who Levon was and as the film begins, it is understood that he is an ex-soldier who just wants to have a normal life.
We see that he is not having an easy time due to the fact that he lost his wife, suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and his father-in-law doesn't consider him fit to take care of little Merry.
Levon is a man who by the vagaries of fate returns to combat when he has to rescue Jenny after she is kidnapped.

The film focuses a lot on suspense and intrigue in the beginning and the action then picks up as Levon must use the force to take on his opponents.
The film doesn't give much information about the Russian mafia and only drops a couple of hints that it is a powerful organization. Something that presents a big challenge for Levon and may offer something very fascinating to explore.
The script certainly isn't excellent, but that's made up for with the action scenes. Some are very brief, but most are promising.
The action is what matters most, and it's what makes a Jason Statham movie worthwhile. Here you can tell that Stallone has decided to pass the mantle to Statham and it's something that was foreseen since they worked together on The Expendables.
This film might not have worked without Jason Statham, so it is he who saves the film in the same way he did with The Meg.
The cast also includes Arianna Rivas as the kidnapped girl, who is not bad, I hope to see her soon in other productions; Isla Gie, who plays Jason Statham's daughter and to whom, miraculously, the bad guys do nothing; and very brief but grateful are the presences of David Harbour and Michael Peña.
