Our take
Shadow Force stars two former assassins protecting their son on the run. It is rated R for violence and language throughout. Expect bank robberies, head shots, stabbings, and a child threatened at gunpoint, balanced by a loving family core
Uplifting themes
Family loyalty and teamwork outweigh the body count for some viewers Parents risk everything to protect their son
Story (may spoil tone)
Kyrah and Isaac were once the leaders of a multinational special forces group called Shadow Force. They broke the rules by falling in love, and in order to protect their son, they go underground. With a large bounty on their heads, and the vengeful Shadow Force hot on their trail, one family's fight becomes all-out war.
