It's a pretty simple story. A special forces mercenary takes on a contract to rescue the son of a drug lord who was abducted by a rival drug lord and kills an entire city's police force in the process. There is some cool gun action and some intense fight scenes but ultimately the whole thing is just another typical cliché modern Hollywood action movie. Except perhaps with slightly less 'badass empowered female' action, which was refreshing. There is a lot of violence, but it still felt watered down. It could have been way darker and edgier, which would have been more realistic too, but the main character was held back by the script. Being too nice and always honorable to even the most vile creatures and getting nothing in return. But maybe that is a metaphor for the Vikings of today, who knows.
