Plot:
In the near future, a series of brutal, unexplainable murders baffle the authorities, each victim left with disturbing symbols drawn around their bodies. Detective Gabriel Wallace (Jason Statham) is tasked with investigating these eerie killings, but the case becomes even more puzzling when he learns that the murderer, a highly intelligent and mentally unstable man named Ezra Barnes (Idris Elba), is a former psychiatrist who’s now locked in an advanced mental institution.
The twist comes when Gabriel is forced to work alongside Dr. Claire Davis (Jessica Chastain), a renowned psychiatrist known for her groundbreaking work in understanding the minds of criminally insane individuals. They are forced to team up and delve into the psyche of Ezra Barnes, who insists that the killings are not random — each is a message, a warning, and a piece of a larger puzzle.
As Gabriel and Claire navigate Ezra’s mind through a high-tech, experimental brain-scanning procedure, they find themselves caught in a race against time. The more they unlock within Ezra’s mind, the closer they get to uncovering a dangerous conspiracy that reaches higher than they ever expected. But as their investigation progresses, Claire begins to question the true nature of Ezra’s madness — is he the mastermind of these gruesome crimes, or is he a victim of a greater force that manipulates the mind from within?
