If you liked the straightforward, no-frills action vibe of A Line of Fire where David A.R. White and Cuba Gooding Jr. carry the whole thing on their shoulders, check out Marauders or Hard Tide — they're similar direct thrillers with solid casts that don't pretend to be blockbusters, just do the job. The Marine hits that same note where the lead character has to muscle through on pure grit and determination, no sci-fi gimmicks or surprise twists.

Jack Cash Conry spent a decade as an FBI undercover agent before walking away after his wife's death to raise his two daughters alone. Life at home is stable until his ex-partner's niece Jamie shows up asking for help, pulling him back into a world of corruption and violence he thought he'd left behind. David A. R. White plays Cash as a guy caught between the safety of his new life and the pull of one more dangerous mission. Director Matt Shapira made a tight 86-minute thriller that doesn't waste time—it's all momentum and stakes.
