Movie Review:
Zachary Levi and Liam Neeson’s $25 million mission is short on thrills
Story:
Former CIA Special Operations leader Tucker reunites his old team after learning about $25 million hidden in Tehran decades ago. The group of men enter Iran to recover the money and rescue an activist’s daughter, but the mission soon goes wrong.
Review:
‘The Fix’ has all the ingredients for a solid action thriller. It has a plot that packs action, suspense, and country rivalry coupled with an extraction, but director Guy Moshe struggles to make them work together. A group of war-torn ex-CIA operatives that have worked earlier in Afghanistan, $25 million hidden in Tehran and a mission that offers a chance to settle old scores give the story a promising start. Yet the film takes too long to get going, and its attempts to mix military action with personal regret and political intrigue never really gel together. The film squanders its long runtime to tell its story effectively with a tighter script.
The plot revolves around Tucker (Zachary Levi), a former CIA operative whose rescue mission goes horribly wrong during the withdrawal from Afghanistan. As the Taliban closes in, he and his team try to save a local ally, but the operation ends in disaster, forcing Tucker to make a decision that haunts him for years. Long after leaving the field, he reconnects with his former handler Larry (Liam Neeson), whose failing memory leads him to reveal details of a secret stash worth $25 million. The money was hidden in a Tehran building during the fall of the Shah’s regime more than four decades ago. Sensing an opportunity to make a fortune and perhaps put the past behind him, Tucker reunites his old team and heads to Iran under false identities. They plan to recover the cash and rescue an activist’s daughter, but betrayals and armed confrontations soon threaten to derail the mission.
The opening scenes set in Afghanistan establish a compelling conflict and give Tucker’s past a clear connection to the mission ahead. Unfortunately, the film loses its way once the plot moves to Tehran. Double-crosses, past histories and political details keep piling up, but these elements feel like distractions from the job at hand. The action scenes are well handled, and the unknown Tehran locations offer plenty of scope for tense confrontations. The film rarely makes these scenes feel important beyond the immediate danger. It also touches on the damage caused by secret operations and America’s role overseas but never explores these ideas properly. Instead, the team keeps facing one problem after another, without making the mission more exciting.
Levi plays Tucker as a tough man who keeps his emotions in check, and he handles the physical demands of the role in a convincing manner. The trouble is that there is little to the character beyond his troubled past and determination to finish the job. Neeson brings authority to Larry, particularly in scenes that reveal how much his mental health has deteriorated. But his role is far smaller than the film’s marketing team might lead viewers to expect. His presence feels more like a selling point than an integral part of the story. Annet Mahendru, Elnaaz Norouzi, and Quincey Isaiah are effective in their small roles, but their characters mostly serve the mission rather than develop into interesting individuals. The team is large enough, but the script gives its members little scope to develop distinct personalities.
This action thriller has an interesting premise and enough action to keep things moving in patches, but it never becomes the thriller it promises to be. The plot grows increasingly complicated without becoming more interesting, while the characters remain too thin to give the mission much emotional pull. Levi puts in the effort, and the action has its moments, but the film struggles to sustain excitement across its runtime. Neeson fans may also wonder why an actor of his stature has so little to do. There are a few good action scenes, but the film keeps moving from one problem to another without holding your interest.
