You'll forget about it in a day........
27 April 2018
Warning: Spoilers
After a mercenary dies in a brutal firefight, a new regenerative surgery gives him a second chance at life and another shot at redemption........

For 24 hours.......

Ethan Hawke can multitask in whatever film genre there is.

Pick a genre, and you'll find him appearing somewhere.

It's a basic rehash of 3 days to kill mixed with In Time, and it hides nothing up its sleeve.

If you want to see a film that basically rips those two films off, sprinkles a little Escape From New York in the mix, and has a one sheet that makes you think of Jack Bauer, look no further.

We know Hawke needs redeeming, he's lost his family and has turned to drink.

After an offer he can't refuse comes his way, he is fatally shot, but bought back by having a stop watch inserted in his arm, and having his skin dyed fours shades greyer.

The mad on from Peaky Blinders is an old friend that guess what, turns out to be on the other side, so it's up to Hawke to find out what the devil is going on before the counter reaches zero.

This should have been a frenetically paced B-movie, and even though it has some decent action moments, you can't help but think of better action films from yesteryear.

Rutger Hauer pops up as the father-in-law, but this doesn't offer anything new to the action genre, and it's instantly forgettable....
