Sunday Safe Bet

Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it: Made for crime fans and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. If you loved John Wick: Chapter 4 or John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood: Tense and unsettling, gritty.
The pace: Fast-moving, at 1 hr 58 min.
What might put you off: Rated R: expect violence.

After a fateful miss, an assassin battles his employers, and himself, on an international manhunt he insists isn't personal.
