Why watch?

Kerry Washington and Omar Sy as a pair of agents doing the heavy lifting — their dynamic carries the action scenes. Joe Carnahan directs it like a spy thriller with the pace of an action flick, and that mix keeps the tension going the whole way through. Gadgets, threats, double crosses — everything you want from this kind of movie, packed into 103 minutes without letting up.

Who is it for?

For people who want an action thriller that moves fast and doesn't take itself too seriously - watch it on a weeknight when you need something tense but fun. If you liked The Man from Toronto or recent Denzel action films, you'll find something familiar here. Fair amount of action violence, so not for young kids.

If Shadow Force hooked you with its quick-paced action and Kerry Washington as an operative operating outside the rules, check out Wolfshead — a spy thriller where Jason Statham takes on his own government. Or go for Blacklight, where Liam Neeson plays a retired agent uncovering dirty secrets within the system itself. Both have that same feel of being hunted by the institutions you used to serve.

Classic overview

Kyrah and Isaac were once the leaders of a multinational special forces group called Shadow Force. They broke the rules by falling in love, and in order to protect their son, they go underground. With a large bounty on their heads, and the vengeful Shadow Force hot on their trail, one family's fight becomes all-out war.

Kerry Washington and Omar Sy play Kyrah and Isaac, two former leaders of an elite multinational special forces unit called Shadow Force who fell in love and broke every rule in the book. Now they're hiding with their son, but someone's put a massive bounty on their heads and the organization they once commanded is hunting them down. Director Joe Carnahan cranks up the tension as this cat-and-mouse game spirals from a desperate escape into all-out warfare. If you liked the relentless pace of Extracted or the high-stakes family drama of Safe House, this one's built on the same DNA.
