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…
Next-day delivery isn't an option.
A former soldier is thrown into a brutal race against time when a critical medical delivery makes him and his unlikely partner the targets of a ruthless cartel. As the mission spirals into a deadly manhunt, every detour, delay, and bullet pushes them closer to failure. With betrayal closing in from every side, they must survive the chase and deliver their cargo to save the life of a little girl.

Reviews
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…
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.
