PANAMA (2022)
Panama (2022) is a gritty action thriller that delivers high-octane thrills despite a familiar formula. Starring Cole Hauser as James Becker, a tough ex-Marine, the film follows his mission in Panama during the 1989 U.S. invasion. Tasked with a covert arms deal, Becker teams up with Mel Gibson’s Stark, a seasoned operative, but things spiral into chaos with double-crosses and brutal firefights.
The jungle setting amps up the tension, with solid cinematography capturing the raw, humid atmosphere. Hauser’s stoic performance carries the film, though Gibson’s role feels underused. The plot leans on action clichés, but the intense shootouts and fast pacing keep you hooked. It’s not groundbreaking, yet its raw energy and 80s-style action vibe make it a fun ride for genre fans. Don’t skip this if you crave relentless, no-frills action.
