WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Teddy Murretto (Grillo) is a wily con artist who desperately comes up with a plan to hide out from deadly hitman Bob Viddick (Butler), which involves getting himself arrested and thrown into a small-town police station. However, he doesn’t count on Viddick scheming his own way into an opposite cell, nor the arrival of competing assassin Anthony Lamb (Huss) which threatens to blow things even further out of proportion…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Action filmmaker Joe Carnahan pits both Frank Grillo – who the director just worked with on last month’s Boss Level – and Gerard Butler against each other in this tongue-in-cheek action-thriller, even if the two of them are mere prison cells apart for most of the movie.
