'24 Hours To Live': To die or not to die . . .

Posted by Billy Wonka on February 16, 2018 at 15:15:14:
That is the question for all mercenaries, especially those working for the Red Mountain agency.

Ethan Hawke was taking a year off after the untimely death of his wife and ten-year-old son. His dad-in-law (Rutger Hauer), had become his full-time fishing buddy and fellow inebriator. Suddenly some of the old gang show up to muscle him into "one last job". That didn't work so his lifelong, fellow Marine buddy arrives to tempt him with a million bucks a day to eliminate an informant. Hawke was "the best" at his job yet reluctantly accepted the mission.

The informant was also an American who was set to testify (via online) about guarding the burial of hundreds of bodies there in South Africa. To make it interesting, a female counterpart from Hong Kong was assigned to get the informant to court for the deposition.

Seems that the urgency of eliminating the informant was because Red Mountain produced all the dead bodies while performing medical experiments. So now, we have a last-mission moral dilemma for Hawke. Do the right thing or get really rich?

There is a lot of action and the film has money invested in it. Not a lot cheap about it. The story has a fairly standard line but there are some twists around the bend.

Located in Red Box, I would give this 3 outta 5 wonks. (Not to be confused with wanks.)
