Summary
In Bangkok, former cop and Royal Marine commando Cole Reed is now the personal bodyguard of billionaire industrialist Tibu Campallo, and considered almost family.
So character basically has the same backstory as Levon Cade in A Working Man (2025).
(Sigh).
One night, Tibu is shot dead and Cole is framed for his murder.
Vowing to clear his name, he boards cargo ship the KMG Artemis and discovers a human trafficking operation aboard.
Cole kinda teams up with unlikely ally Angie Ellis to take gun-toting bad guys down.
Guidance and protection
First off, title makes no sense, as sailors, or in this case traffickers, do not rebel and/or defy their Captain.
I'm a fan, but the Stath has become the new Steven Seagal.
And that is obviously not a fucking compliment.
Close-quarters combat/gunplay is okay I suppose, but the whole thing is just tedious and boring, especially since nothing happens for over 30m.
Final fight between Cole and Marko results in Captain getting shot in the head by a harpoon, then the Navy conveniently turns up.
But we're not done, because another tortuous 10m focuses on 'revenge', setting up a possible sequel.
Seriously?
