Quotes from Naomi Ackie
"Oh, it was so much fun. I don’t know if I can give something away. It’s another world, but it’s so much fun. It is a classic that I think the only way I can describe it is like – you know, Jason Statham is so good at making exciting action films that feel extremely observable."
What is Jason Statham’s New Film About?
The action thriller, which was shot in Scotland, finds Statham in familiar territory – playing a brooding loner with a shady past and a thirst for justice. According to the official summary:
"A hermit on a remote Scottish island saves a girl from the sea and unleashes a dangerous consequence of events that culminate in an attack on his house and force him to face his turbulent history."

Directed by Ric Roman Waugh from a script by Ward Parry, the project has all the ingredients to be a classic action thriller, even if a release date has not been confirmed.
