Matt Roush says...
For a very non-holiday change of pace, this enjoyable thriller picks up after the massacre of an entire Greek village, with retired assassin Julie (Keeley Hawes) and her baffled son Edward (Freddie Highmore) taking refuge on a yacht with his wealthy fiancée Kayla (Shalom Brune-Franklin). Edward has barely begun to unpack the news that his mother has lived a secret life as a hitwoman when she reveals that Kayla was her next assignment, which she refused to accept. But the danger isn’t over yet.
