7/10
better than I expected
29 December 2019
Clement "The Doctor" Molloch (Joseph Maher) teaches torture to brutal military men. In the Cayman Islands, retired assassin Holland (Charles Bronson) is told that his journalist friend had been killed by the Doctor. Clement and his sister is being forced out of Guatemala City with mounting outside human rights pressure. Holland recruits Rhiana and her daughter to provide him with cover as a family as she lost her husband to the Doctor. He intends to kill Clement before he is able to leave Guatemala. Briggs (John Glover) is the unsavory American diplomat who works with The Doctor.

I expected a big explosive shoot them up thriller. I'm actually relieved that the assassinations are more careful than that. Nevertheless, it's not quite perfectly careful or reasonable. There are some issues that need fixing. For example, it's unreasonable that Rhiana would continue the dangerous plan if she has to worry about her daughter. No matter her reason for revenge, any mother would set her priority for her daughter as number one. The other is the local military. The locals are willing to help them arrest Max but they don't go with them in tracking down Holland. An easy fix would be a total denial by the military with anything Doctor related. Doctor's men and Briggs can still work together to bring in Max and it would explain the lack of men in chasing down Holland. I do like the miners in the ending although I expected that to happen in the streets with the funeral people. This is better than I expected. I expected B-level trash.
