Summary
Jean-François Richet’s 95-minute action film follows Statham’s Cole Reed as he boards a cargo ship from Bangkok to avenge his boss and rescue Thai refugees held for sale as slaves.
Onboard, Reed teams with Annabelle Wallis’s Angie and methodically wipes out a crew of armed ex-soldiers in tight ship corridors, using guns, knives and improvised weapons including a padlock.
The review calls “Mutiny” competent but formulaic, saying its boilerplate plot and thin characters leave the film relying mostly on gory set pieces and Statham’s familiar screen presence.
That limited upside comes after the $40 million film opened to just $7.5 million domestically, hurt by an early Prime Video leak that spread online before release.
