Agent Aaron Hunter curses as he enters headquarters. Someone slaughtered their team in Bangkok and escaped. They unveiled that the killer was The Ghost, a legendary black hat terrorist. Hunter chastises his subordinates as his boss, Agent Katherine Brunt, enters. Brunt demands to know Hunter’s next plan of attack. Before Hunter speaks, a team member discovers doctored video footage hiding The Ghost’s identity. The Ghost will board a flight to San Francisco. Later, they uncover that The Ghost visited a vet’s office because someone shot them. They don’t have any mercenaries close enough to Bangkok to board a plane to identify and apprehend The Ghost. Brunt dials her only option.

Lucas Reyes stumbles into a bar and asks for another drink. His phone rings, and he immediately hangs up. Brunt calls again and pleads with Lucas to listen. She promises to reinstate him if he completes the mission. Lucas agrees with a few fists and dead bodies. He arrives at the airport but doesn’t have a passport and is on the No Fly List. Brunt tells Lucas to relax because she has everything handled. A man bumps into Lucas and hands him a passport. Lucas boards without issue.

Before the flight, flight attendant Garrett briefs the team on today’s passengers. They have a double-decker jet. The top portion is 70% full, while the lower is 90%. He alerts the staff to be kind and accommodating to their Diamond members. Flight attendants Isha and Royce share a quip before boarding the passengers. Lucas makes pleasantries with the crew, sits, and updates Brunt in a text.

Agent Kyle Robinson requests to speak privately to Brunt and Hunter at headquarters. They enter a secure office, and Robinson tells them an unfortunate update. Someone alerted the world’s most violent criminals that The Ghost was on that plane, and bounties for The Ghost are worldwide. The plane is littered with killers hunting the Ghost. They alert Lucas. Can Lucas unmask and apprehend the Ghost before someone kills them?

This movie, like Love Hurts and Novocaine, is funny and action-packed from the beginning to the end. The writers created an unserious action film. The weapons, battles, and alliances are outlandish but necessary because they allow viewers to enjoy the massacre. The film does have a strong lesson, but the writers didn’t wallow in the message. They presented the widely known issues but quickly returned to the fights. The choreography focused on new fight elements, blood, and drugs to keep the audience engaged. However, the editing is clumsy and reveals wide punches and stunt doubles. The killers range from an aspiring dancer to cat-eyed assassins. This diverse group offers different fighting styles and personalities. The ending invites a potential part two. However, one is enough for this future cult classic.

I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain – Brunt

I could shoot Robinson. – Hunter

You’re making it work – Isha

Can I get the tea first? – Royce

I guess you can’t pickle a pickle – Lucas
