The annoyingly verbose "Ben" (Owen Wilson) arrives in Brisbane aboard a private jet tasked with delivering a liver that could save the life of the young "Ellie" (Scarlett Crabtree) whose mother "Kate" (Leila George) is gradually climbing the walls. His ride to the hospital is to be provided by "Hank" (Alan Ritchson) who isn't best impressed that his passenger suffers from an excitable form of verbal diarrhoea - but that's just the start of his woes as they both discover that this organ is particularly rare and that the local branch of the Colombian drug-peddling mafia are determined to get their hands on it. What ought to have been a straightforward courier job quickly becomes an action-packed race across the country leaving wreckage, carnage and quite a few bodies in their wake. Naturally

After the disappointment that was Onslaught (2026), I was kinda hesitant, but I enjoyed the last movie I watched Alan in, Motor City (2026), so why not? There are stupid moments that should end this movie, but the third act makes up for it. In fact, I was fully engrossed! I view this movie as "What If... Reacher in Australia, with Owen Wilson". P.S. I disliked Reacher Season 4 and gave up on Neagley Season 1 half way through.

This is loud and pretty dumb. The main protagonist has a screen presence but doesn't command the room and the sidekick is annoying in the most perfect way. The plot is contrived and the antagonists keep shifting as more and more layers of the plot get revealed. It is entertaining, but it isn't memorable.
