After learning the secrets of manipulation, graft, and deceit while incarcerated, a recently released ex-convict sets into motion a complex revenge plot against the man who killed his sister-in-law and put him behind bars in maverick director
Guy Ritchie's highly stylized
crime drama. For seven long years,
Jake Green (
Jason Statham) has bided his time while learning the rules of the game from a chess master and a top con artist who shared adjacent cells.
Macha (
Ray Liotta) is the cold and calculated gangster who sent
Jake up the river after ruthlessly ending the life of
Jake's beloved sister-in-law. When
Jake turns up at the casino and humiliates
Macha on the floor for all to see, the seething gangster wastes no time in putting a hearty price on his old foe's head. Inexplicably saved from
Macha's assassins by a pair who only identify themselves as
Avi (
Andre Benjamin) and
Zach (
Vincent Pastore),
Jake isn't sure whether to trust his guardian angels or flee from them. The only thing
Jake does know for sure is that his thirst for revenge grows stronger every day, and it won't be satisfied until
Macha meets his maker.
