The Tournament

ActionAdventureHorrorThriller95 min

Every seven years, an unsuspecting town is turned into an arena for a secret contest: 30 of the world’s deadliest assassins hunt each other until one survivor claims a $10 million prize and the title of No. 1 assassin. Robert Carlyle is caught in the middle as the match tears through everyday streets and public spaces, while Kelly Hu and Ving Rhames are among the killers in the field. The setup pits hired guns, martial-arts specialists, and blunt-force brawlers against each other in a running battle built around ambushes, explosions, and close-quarters combat.
