In this gritty action thriller from director Walter Hill, a contract killer named Frank Kitchen, played by Michelle Rodriguez, finds themselves the target of a twisted revenge plot orchestrated by a brilliant but vengeful surgeon, Dr. Rachel Kay, portrayed by Sigourney Weaver. After a botched hit leaves Frank vulnerable, Dr. Kay abducts them and performs a forced gender reassignment surgery, a cruel act meant to destroy Frank's identity and career. Now living in a new body and hunted by former associates, Frank must navigate a treacherous underworld of betrayal and violence to track down Dr. Kay and reclaim their life. With the reluctant help of a washed-up doctor, played by Tony Shalhoub, and a determined detective, played by Anthony LaPaglia, Frank embarks on a relentless quest for vengeance. This high-octane thriller blends raw action with a dark, provocative premise, exploring themes of identity, justice, and survival in a world where no one can be trusted.
