The elevator pitch is pretty snappy: Tom Hardy plays a homicide detective named Walker with a very chequered past, and the scars to show for it. On a mission to locate a corrupt politician’s son, he finds himself squaring off against just about everybody as he carves his way through the criminal underworld and unearths various dark conspiracies.

Hardy leads this Netflix original action/crime movie from the director of The Raid, Gareth Evans. Here’s what you need to know about it.

Jessie Mei Li, Timothy Olyphant and Forest Whitaker also star in Gareth Evans’ neo-noir about a compromised detective caught between Triad killers and crooked fellow cops.
