Our take

A former MI5 agent living alone on a Scottish island rescues a teenage girl from a storm and draws lethal enemies from his past. Rated M for violence and some language. Shootouts, kill orders, assault teams and a child caught in the crossfire follow. Prime Video lists language and violence advisories. Tense but formulaic action fare. Best for teens 14+ who can handle spy violence and steady profanity rather than younger viewers.

Uplifting themes

Protecting the vulnerable matters even when it costs isolation
