The story delves deeper into Tyler’s past, revealing more about his family and the emotional scars that drive him. The climax is a brutal showdown in a snowy fortress, where Tyler faces off against the gangster’s army in a desperate bid to save the hostages.
The cast includes Golshifteh Farahani reprising her role as Nik Khan, Tyler’s trusted ally, and Adam Bessa as Yaz Khan. New additions to the cast include Tornike Gogrichiani as the menacing antagonist and Olga Kurylenko in a pivotal role.
