Will Smith may not seem it, but he’s entered the age of venturing into vigilante flicks. It’s a genre where everyone gets their turn eventually. Though, I’m sure he’s hoping for more of something along the lines of Keanu Reeves’ retired hitman smash franchise, John Wick, over what the Taken sequels and subsequent copycats have done to the genre.
Will Smith plays Henry, a black ops assassin that must do “one last job” and then finally retire. However, when that job doesn’t go as planned, his superiors put a hit out on Henry and will stop at nothing to silence him. However, Henry is elite-level and it won’t be easy to take him down.
Seems simple enough, right? It’s a standard shady government ops flick where one person must survive long enough to reveal the truth and take down a powerful organization.
Enter the crux of the movie – The only person that can take down old Henry down is….a younger version of himself. For the rest of the movie, it’s a battle of the ages as a 51 year old Will Smith and a 25 year old CG Smith fight for survival.
