In Guy Ritchie’s latest film, lawyer Rachel Wild (Eiza González) teams up with fixers Sid (Henry Cavill) and Bronco (Jake Gyllenhaal) to recover debts for the ultra-rich, facing off against billionaire gangster Manny Salazar (Carlos Bardem). Known for his prolific output, Ritchie delivers another grand, action-packed adventure rather than a back-to-basics indie film. The movie showcases a caper tone, reminiscent of his earlier works like “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” infused with a laddy atmosphere, although Rachel stands out as a rare female protagonist in his typically male-driven narratives.
Rachel operates in a morally ambiguous zone, employing both legal tactics and more aggressive methods to reclaim billions from wealthy clients. Armed with a blend of charm and muscle, her team specializes in extraction and intimidation, while flashy set pieces and a fun, playful score evoke heist film vibes. Despite the engaging premise, character development remains minimal; the players rarely face real consequences, and the film leans heavily on style over substance.
While the plot is predictable and humor falls flat, the film moves at a brisk pace, with action scenes that entertain. Ritchie’s signature approach is evident, creating a film that, though nonsensical and forgettable, fulfills its role as a light watch in the streaming age. In summary, this is standard Ritchie fare—entertaining but not groundbreaking.
