Yahya Abdul-Mateen II smolders convincingly, but this stretched-thin adaptation only intermittently justifies trading the films' scorched intensity for seven episodes of simmer.

## Synopsis

John Creasy, a burned-out ex-Special Forces mercenary drinking his way toward oblivion, accepts what looks like a quiet protection job from his old friend Paul Rayburn. Then bombers level a skyscraper, Rayburn's daughter Poe becomes the attack's key witness, and Creasy's promise to keep one girl alive collides with a conspiracy prepared to burn a city. Kyle Killen stretches A.J. Quinnell's novels — twice filmed, most famously with Denzel Washington — into seven episodes of slow-burn vengeance.
