As a fan with a penchant for edge-of-your-seat action movies, I can hardly contain my excitement for the highly anticipated film, “Canary Black.” The directorial prowess of Pierre Morel, who masterfully transformed Liam Neeson into an aged action hero in “Taken,” is once again on full display here. With Underworld star Kate Beckinsale joining forces with Morel for another gripping tale of a skilled operative on a perilous solo mission, this movie promises to be nothing short of thrilling.
The director who made the blockbuster action film Taken, Pierre Morel, is back with another pulse-pounding adventure called Canary Black. You can now watch it streaming online. Following his remarkable reinvention of Liam Neeson as the preferred older action star, Morel teams up with Underworld’s lead actor for a new story about a skilled operative embarking on a perilous solo mission.
Below, you’ll find the formal summary for the movie “Canary Black.” It has everything needed to deliver an intense, non-stop action-thriller experience.
A leading CIA agent named Avery Graves finds herself in a dire situation when terrorists take her husband captive and threaten to expose state secrets unless she cooperates. Isolated from her team, she seeks aid from her shady acquaintances in the underworld to stay alive and find the crucial intelligence that the kidnappers seek. Trusting no one, Avery must rely on her exceptional skills and raw instincts as she navigates through a dangerous web of deceit in a desperate bid to pay the ransom, which could potentially ignite a worldwide disaster.
Under the direction of Pierre Morel and with a screenplay by Matthew Kennedy, the film titled “Canary Black” features Kate Beckinsale as a fugitive CIA agent. She’s joined by Rupert Friend (known for his roles in “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” “Hitman: Agent 47”), Saffron Burrows (“The Bank Job”), Ben Miles (“Andor”), Goran Kostić (“Taken”), Michael Brandon (“Episodes”), and Charles Nishikawa (“Touch”). The film represents one of the late actor Ray Stevenson’s final performances, who is remembered for his roles in “Punisher: War Zone,” “Thor,” and “Rome.” Unfortunately, he passed away on May 21, 2023, at the age of 58.
This Is Far From Kate Beckinsale’s First Foray Into Action Movies
Canary Black is far from Kate Beckinsale’s first foray into the world of action movies. The actress has swung swords and fired bullets aplenty in the likes of Van Helsing, the Total Recall remake, and the much-loved action horror franchise, Underworld. Beckinsale has now starred as the vampiric, werewolf hunting “Death Dealer” Selene across multiple installments in the Underworld series. The last audiences saw of the character and her dual pistols and leather ensemble (the whole franchise is delightfully noughties in its approach) was in 2016’s Underworld: Blood Wars, which sees Selene still fighting to find a way to end the conflict between the Lycans and the Vampires.
I’ve always been captivated by the “Underworld” series, even though it doesn’t often receive critical acclaim. Remarkably, it has managed to cultivate a dedicated fanbase, and I’m one of them. Regrettably, Kate Beckinsale herself seems unsure if we’ll see her reprise her role in the future. However, it’s intriguing to know that Len Wiseman, who directed the first film, hinted at a reboot last year.
A trend is brewing, though I can’t divulge details, but rest assured, there’s definitely more to come from the Underworld.
Don’t worry, as Kate Beckinsale is set to appear in multiple thrillers and action movies soon. In one of these upcoming films, titled “The Patient“, Beckinsale teams up with Ryan Phillippe. The story revolves around a man who regains consciousness in a hospital but has no recollection of his past. With a life he can’t remember, he starts to doubt if he’s being deceived. Additionally, Beckinsale will be the lead actress in another action thriller called “Stolen Girl“. This movie tells the story of an American woman who has spent over a decade searching for her daughter, who was abducted by the child’s father and taken to the Middle East.
