That is, until his neighbor suddenly takes off and leaves Bud, his cat, with Hank, who has no idea that the neighbor has some vicious Russian mobsters on his trail. The criminals will use just about any measure to ensure Hank leads them to something the neighbor stole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, to save his life along with the lives of his loved ones, Hank has a mystery to solve. And he has to do it fast, because another group seeks Hank\u2019s help, as does a savvy police detective (Regina King) who thinks Hank knows more than he\u2019s letting on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The film\u2019s 1990s settings lends itself well to some tunes and a soundtrack that keeps pace with the action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This capable ensemble is so much fun. Additionally, I love the chase scenes and the fight scenes. The violence is sometimes cringe-inducing \u2013 one character is beaten so badly he loses a kidney \u2013 so squeamish viewers probably should stay away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Fists are thrown, alliances switch, and the twists and turns come as hard and fast as some characters hit the pavement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This is great grownup fun that will keep you engaged even after its satisfying finale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">3 1\/2 stars<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Running time: One hour and 47 minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rated: R for foul language, sexual situations, violence and gore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In theaters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Watch the trailer <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1493274\/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
