Vengeance drives this hard-edged action thriller, which trails a relentless detective into retirement only to pull him back toward the streets after the death of his closest friend. Wounded and unwilling to let the matter rest, he sets out on a perilous quest for the justice he once wore a badge to uphold, with Isaiah Washington anchoring a cast that leans into the genre's brooding, fists-up energy.

Expect a lean, propulsive ride built on grief, payback, and the thin line between law and revenge. The tone runs dark and personal, the pacing brisk as the hunt escalates. Viewers who gravitate toward gritty crime actioners about haunted men chasing redemption, where the mission is as much about the soul as the streets, will feel right at home.
