Our take

A US R action thriller about a retired FBI agent pulled back into Miami crime networks after a friend's death. Shootouts show blood spurts, and a woman and two children are held at gunpoint. Some strong language lands in crime confrontations. Reviews note uneven quality, but the violence and language match a standard US R action rating. Best for older teens around 16 and up who want a straightforward crime shoot-'em-up.

Uplifting themes

Protecting family and finishing a friend's fight still get some emphasis The lead tries to shield his daughters while he solves the case

Story (may spoil tone)

After working as a secret agent in the FBI for ten years, Jack 'Cash' Conry left it all behind after his wife passed in order to dedicate himself to his two daughters. Despite a fulfilling life at home, Cash misses the chance to make an impact and has been considering a return to the force. The decision is made for him when his old partner’s niece Jamie calls him for help, launching Cash right back into a world of danger, corruption and intrigue.
