Description: Michael Hamilton-Wright's "Hostile Takeover" (2025) isn't your typical action thriller; it's a gripping character study cloaked in high-octane violence. Michael Jai White delivers a powerhouse performance as Pete, a hitman grappling with his inner demons, his attendance at Workaholics Anonymous meetings raising suspicion within the ruthless crime syndicate he serves. Supported by Aimee Stolte and Dawn Olivieri, the film explores themes of redemption, loyalty, and the corrosive nature of unchecked power. The tension ratchets up relentlessly as Pete finds himself hunted by a relentless wave of assassins. Hamilton-Wright masterfully blends visceral action sequences with poignant moments of introspection, leaving the audience questioning the very nature of morality in a world ruled by violence. This isn't just a shoot-em-up; it's a compelling exploration of the human cost of a life lived on the edge.
