Patrick Hill begins work at Fortico Security, an armoured truck company after barely passed the physical and weapon training required. His silent and mysterious demeanour rubs his new colleagues differently, some don't necessarily like his silence and mistakes him for having a dark past prior to working there. His superior whose nickname is Bullet, calls him H for short. 

One day, during one of their transfer trips, the truck was taken hostage. H expertly killed the band and his action receives praises from the company's owner. In one of the many robbery attempts, the robbers fled when they saw H's face emerges from the truck. 

This fact makes everyone in the company questions H's past even more. 

Flashback to 5 months earlier - H is actually the boss of a crime syndicate. H was on a recon job in front of Fortico's exit while his son waits for him inside the car when another band of thieves robbed the armored truck. The robbery happened near where H parked his car with his son inside. And against the advises from other members, H's son was killed by one of the robbers. H was running towards his son when the incident happened and H gets a clear view of the killer's face, just seconds before he too was shot down by the shooter who killed his son. 

Waking up to the news that his son did not make it and his wife blames him for the death of their son, H demands to find the men responsible. After exhausting the list of robbers and coming up with a dead-end each time, H decides to return to London to clear his head, but he actually acquiring a new identity as Patrick Hill to investigate his son's death further. His associates suggest that the robbery was an inside job and that's why H 'ínfiltrate' Fortico as an employee. 

Will he finds the truth about his son's killer and who is the 'ínside man'?

MY REVIEW

Plot: 4.6/ 5.0 The plot is predictable but I was surprised to learn the real inside man behind the whole plan. 

Cast: 4.7/ 5.0 At first I was like 'why is Jason acting like this? This is so not him'. Then I know why he was the way he was - it was his character. 

But yeah, we know that Jason is always the man with a few words. The rest? Great performances too.

Will I watch it again: I don't mind watching it again.
