A quiet man trying to leave his mysterious past behind has built a simple new life. When he befriends a young woman controlled by violent gangsters, he steps in to protect her, using long-hidden skills to stand up for people with nowhere else to turn.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like measured, gritty vigilante action and a calm lead facing overwhelming odds; Not for you if you want realism, a fast start, or a fresh story.
