As she hunts down their top killers one by one, she becomes the ultimate target, forced to outsmart and outgun those who want her dead before they erase her for good.”
Directed by Michael Su with a screenplay by Jacob David Smith, the cast also features Dominic Keating and G. Anthony Joseph. The movie will be released in select U.S. theaters on May 30, 2025, with screenings planned at venues such as Laemmle Town Center in Encino, California, and Film Noir Cinema in Brooklyn, New York.
