(2019) The Tracker ACTION THRILLER

Co-produced, co-written and directed by Giorgio Serafini that has a professional sharpshooter, Aiden Hakansson (Dolph Lundgren) wife and daughter are kidnapped for a half a million dollar ransom. When it does not go accordingly, they are then killed. The movie then jumps 10 years later with Hakansson coming back to Italy where the initial crime took place, and was supposed to meet a detective for some new information regarding the killers of his family. And when that det. Does not show up, the server who knows the detective tells him that it was announced that he had committed suicide. Meanwhile, the criminal gang who killed Hakansson's family has their tail on him. Hakansson eventually teams up with a straight and narrow commissioner, Antonio Graziani (Marco Mazzoli) who was transferred from a different department from another city. We know more about him as he too has a wife named April (Elizabeth Kinnear) and is expecting his first set of twins. Viewers also find out that one of the detective's happens to be dirty, Giordano (Cosimo Fusco) who works alongside the leader of the criminal organization, his name is Lupo (Bruno Bilotta) and another criminal name Sortori (Vito Facciolla), motivating both Hakansson and cop Antonio to go in a save situation, saving someone else's little girl who's also abducted for the intention of money and favors.

Almost immediately from the get-go, it was baffling to watch to begin with. The first time I saw this, it immediately put me to sleep, for it assumes viewers to know that it jumped 10 years later, as opposed to it being mention later on. I t was determined that Hakansson's wife and child was to be targeted for such a huge ransom in the first place. In other words, viewers are kept in the dark how Hakansson his current occupation in comparison to what he used to do, which was sharpshooting. He just looked like any regular person and yet, he was able to put up a half a million dollar ransom that the culprits demanded from him- like huh!

Although, I love the idea of the detective used a different another apartment for his investigation. I thought how dumb it was for the cop to continue to use his puny handgun to take out the bad guys when they're much deadlier weapons around him he could have used. But he did not need those multiple round weapons after all- the bad guys were just terrible shooters after all.
