Struggling ride-share driver Ethan (Thomas Ian Nicholas) is trying to raise his rebellious younger sister Mia as her sole guardian. Crime lord Kaden (Mickey Rourke) becomes his customer. He gets suspended at his job. Mia comes home distressed one night. She reveals that she's in debt to criminals for $20k.
This is somewhat interesting but I'm not sold on it. I like Ethan's character at first but his crazed super-fighting in the last section feels out of place. It's coming from a different type of movie. I get his progression but he falters after awhile. The death is a mistake. It would work better to do a kidnapping instead. It's not like he doesn't get to a kidnapped girl in the last act. I don't mind Mickey Rourke's character but I question him using a ride-share program. If he's powerful enough, he would have his own driver. This movie wants to do something amazing but it's not quite at that level. I also don't like some of the filmmaking choices. Expectations may be too high but the inability to achieve them causes this to fail.
