Out for Vengeance (2025) is a brutal, high-octane action thriller that plunges viewers into the underworld of global assassins, crime syndicates, and personal justice.

With no law enforcement willing to take on the case, Miles declares a one-man war across three continents to bring down the corrupt empire responsible.
As he hunts the shadowy mastermind Viktor Kalov (Giancarlo Esposito), Miles teams up with mysterious MI6 agent Isabelle Moreau (Eva Green) and martial arts expert Liu Cheng (Donnie Yen), unleashing relentless, bone-crunching action through underground fight rings, war-torn safehouses, and high-speed pursuits.
