Josh Hartnett’s new action movie lands deserved 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating

BBG News

Josh Hartnett’s latest action movie received a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes after it debuted in the UK last month.

The instinctual response known as ‘Fight or Flight’, directed by James Madigan, features Hartnett in the role of a fugitive ex-Secret Service agent who has been evading capture for quite some time.

In his assignment to locate an elusive character called “The Ghost” during a journey from Bangkok to San Francisco, he views it as an opportunity for redemption. However, complicating matters is the fact that the aircraft is packed with assassins intent on taking them out.

What to Read Next

Hartnett is accompanied by actors like Katee Sackhoff from Battlestar Galactica, Charithra Chandran from Bridgerton, Marko Zaror from John Wick Chapter 4, and Julian Kostov from Triumph in this action-comedy that Digital Spy describes as a must-watch for fans of John Wick, The Raid, and similar films.

Currently, the movie has earned a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes following its release in the US last May. Critics have been particularly impressed by its frenetic action sequences and clever comedic elements.
