3 Star
International Spy Action
Writer, director, producer Asif Akbar (Boneyard, Skeletons in the Closet) takes us on a global manhunt for the biggest threat to the world, drugs. In this ‘Bondesque’ action flick, we see all the gadgets, the guns and the martial arts that give us ‘John Wick’ Gun Fu action as well as pure martial arts that make this an enjoyable action movie. Great fun for the weekend.
In the Congo Basin, Bangladesh Counter Intelligence (BCI), secret agent, MR-9 a.k.a. Masud Rana (ABM Sumon, Unknown Love, Dhaka Attack) is trying to cut short the foul work of brothers Roman Ross (Frank Grillo, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Boss Level) and younger brother Ricci Ross (Matt Passmore, McLeod’s Daughters (TV Series), The Glades (TV Series)), as they supply the world with hard drugs through their cover of R&R Robotics, a cutting edge robotics firm that claims they will rid the world of all disabilities. Their company saved the sight of Ricci, who now has super vision that is connected to an onboard computer.
With the ruthless efficiency of ‘Pepé Le Pew’, he dispatches the brothers guards and henchmen as the timer ticks down to detonation of their huge mansion.
Meanwhile, in Las Vegas CIA agents Duke (Michael Jai White, Falcon Rising, Black Friday) and Paul Taylor (Niko Foster, Army of One, Justice) are on the heals of Subir Shen (Kolten Jensen) who will be their way into the world of Roman and Ricci.
But Shen isn’t playing ball and decides to fight Duke and when the inevitable happens and they need a replacement for Shen, they call the BCI and meet up with MR-9.
Let the hunt begin as MR-9 goes undercover with TLF agent Devi (Sakshi Pradhan, Truth or Tamanna? (T V Mini Series), Mallika) who is also very handy with weapons.
It’s time to turn out the lights, grab the popcorn and enjoy the action, it’s guns, gadgets, with fast feet and fists. What more could you ask for?
