Hold onto your seats and get ready to experience the ultimate thrill ride as Pierce Brosnan, the suave and iconic spy James Bond 007 (from Golden Eye to Die Another Day), takes on a new adventure in the much-anticipated action-packed thriller, Fast Charlie.
Penned by the acclaimed screenwriter Richard Menk, the mastermind behind blockbuster hits like Salt, The Bone Collector, and Clear and Present Danger, and directed by the visionary filmmaker Phillip Noyce, known for his gripping narratives in films like The Equalizer 1 & 2, The Mechanic 1 & 2, and The Expendables, Fast Charlie promises to deliver the kind of pulse-pounding cinematic experience that the viewers have come to expect from Brosnan himself.
Based on Victor Gischler’s gripping 2001 novel Gun Monkeys, Brosnan channels his inner badass in the titular role of the eponymous protagonist Charlie Swift, an ex-Marine turned lethal mob fixer and hitman who is working for a low-key mob boss named Stan, played by the late James Caan.
The movie centers on a warpath of vengeance when Charlie discovers that Stan and his entire mob crew were double-crossed by the rival gangster that ended in a bloody criminal coup. Determined to seek revenge, Charlie starts to embark on a hell-bent journey in and out of the treacherous web of warring mobs and deadly assassins.
In a gripping narrative twist, an unlikely alliance sets the story ablaze when taxidermist Marcie, played by the captivating Morena Baccarin, who happens to be the no-nonsense ex-wife of someone Charlie murdered, joins him in a pursuit for justice. The unexpected entente between Charlie and Marcie proves that sometimes, the most enthralling moments unfold when unlikely partners come together on an exhilarating adventure.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there!
