When they reveal that they are holding his father prisoner and have given him poison that will kill him within 12 hours, Frank is coerced into helping them get revenge on the Russian human trafficker who forced them into prostitution 15 years earlier.īut that’s all a mere excuse for a relentless series of action set pieces in which Frank demonstrates that he’s as skilled in mixed martial arts as he is at high-speed driving through the narrow streets of the French Riviera without running over any innocent bystanders. Speaking of plot, what little there is has something to do with Frank being hired by gorgeous femme fatale Anna ( Loan Chabanol) and her trio of similarly beautiful, blonde-wigged accomplices.
