TL;DR – While the narrative needed some strength, we got a quality action film with some stand-out brawls.

Post-Credit Scene – There is no post-credit scene.

Sixty Minutes Review –

It is Action Friday because after finishing off the final episode of Reacher’s second season, it is time to take a trip to Berlin to check out a German action film. While we have seen a lot of action films, I realised that I have never seen one out of Germany before. Well, today is the day I will fix that.

So to set the scene, Octavio Bergmann (Emilio Sakraya) is an MMA fighter who is stuck in a dilemma. He is facing the biggest and most prosperous fight in his life. But it is also his daughter Leonie’s (Morîk Maya Heydo) birthday, and the fighter Benko (Aristo Luis) is late, very late. He is stuck between a rock and a hard.

So to set the scene, in 2029, a worldwide blackout called Black December destroyed civilization as we know it on the planet. The Nation-State as we know it today crashed a burned with thousands of micro-states emerging in their wake. In 2074, those micro-states have started to war over the former lands of Europe or, as it is now called, Europa. It is here where Liv (Henriette Confurius) and her family Kiano (Emilio Sakraya) and Elja (David Ali Rashed) see a plane crash while out hunting an event that would shift the balance of the continent. Now from here, we will be looking at the season as a whole, so there will be some [SPOILERS] ahead.
