Mutiny
It is “Die Hard” on the high seas when Mr. Transporter/Beekeeper/Workingman (Jason Statham) stows away on a freighter… but I’m getting ahead of myself. Statham plays Cole Reed, bodyguard to a billionaire industrialist. After a celebration, Cole & his boss get caught in a deadly ambush. Although Cole kills all of the attackers, he is unable to save his boss & he becomes framed for the murder. Cole uses the ID of one of the dead assassins to secretly board a cargo ship hoping to find some answers. On board, he discovers an international human trafficking scheme & must defend himself against the captain & crew. Cole does get a bit of help from a pretty blonde aboard. But it’s mainly a one-man army against the entire crew before the U.S. Navy can come to the rescue. But Cole’s work is still not done because there is still a loose end to tie up. If you have seen any of Statham’s revenge themed movies, you’ll know exactly what to expect… high energy hand-to-hand combat & lots of fun to watch.
Alien gives it 3 “vengeance” stars out of 4.
