In between Richard Linklater films and Broadway stints, Ethan Hawke seemingly can’t resist playing the action hero. The character actor’s portfolio contains some surprising hits like Daybreakers, The Purge and The Magnificent Seven. All of which capitalised on Hawke’s inherent charm and vulnerability. Even his turn in gritty crime drama Training Day, saw his determined cop Jake tempered by naivete and sycophancy. 24 Hours to Live seeks then to drop Hawke’s lovable persona into some of the most high-octane action of his career.
Hawke plays Travis Conrad, a wetwork specialist for Red Mountain, a Blackwater-esque Private Military Company. When one of Red Mountain’s soldiers gives up vital intel to Xu Qing’s Interpol agent, Travis is hired to take them both out. Which he then proceeds to royally screw up and get himself killed. Fortunately, Red Mountain has been working on a new experiment to revive dead soldiers.
