Although the script is a bit formulaic and fairly predictable, the treat here is seeing McShane do what he does best, which is to project a lively mind ticking away under the placid surface of a snake-like visage.

Movies about professional assassins have an obligation to be juicier and more consistently fascinating than this.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 29, 2024

This is an unusually intelligent and purposeful movie that doesn't say much but is full of feeling.

Despite an oddball taste for wide-angle lenses, the director, Gonzalo López-Gallego, can sustain a solid slow burn. Still, neither McShane nor the scenery can take the rust off the basic scenario.

As a hitman on an assignment in a far-flung locale, [McShane's] as good as he’s ever been, exuding a heft and danger that typifies this understated and affecting genre effort.

To hear it described, its premise sounds almost ridiculously predictable: Ian McShane as an old hitman on his last assignment. But the movie turns out to be a serious work that goes to unexpected places.
