Jason Statham’s Cole Reed is an orphan who loves and misses his father deeply. A former Special Forces operative and police officer, he eventually finds that in Tibu, a Thai billionaire industrialist who becomes both his employer and, in many ways, the father figure he misses. It is a potentially interesting emotional hook, especially when Reed’s world is suddenly turned upside down, but Mutiny barely scratches the surface of it.

The film follows Reed as his professional life takes a dangerous turn, pushing him into an investigation that takes him from the world of wealthy businessmen to the claustrophobic setting of a cargo ship. What begins as a search for answers soon turns into a fight for survival, with Annabelle Wallis’ Angie Ellis caught up in the chaos.
