A second-rate cage fighter on the mixed martial arts circuit, Luke Wright (Jason Statham)
lives a numbing life of routine beatings and chump change…until the day
he blows a rigged fight. Wanting to make him an embarrassment the
Russian Mafia murders his wife and banishes him from his life forever,
leaving Luke to wander the streets of New York destitute, haunted by
guilt, and tormented by the knowledge that he will always be watched,
and anyone he develops a relationship with will also be killed. But when
he witnesses a frightened eleven-year-old Chinese girl, Mei (Catherine Chan),
being pursued by the same gangsters who killed his wife, Luke
impulsively jumps to action…and straight into the heart of a deadly
high-stakes war. While his street chases have some of visceral white-knuckle charge of primetime William Friedkin or John Frankenheimer,
his depiction of Manhattan as ruled by shady officials and violent cops
recalls the quasi-Shakespearean rotten kingdom that often served as Sidney Lumet’s
territory. Inevitably, these nods to former glory lack the political
subtlety and dramatic weight of their cinematic ancestors, but it is
pleasing to note that pre-Guiliani NYC still maintains a gravitational
pull on the collective psyche
