Paradise City

Paradise City (2022) is an action thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Chuck Russell and shot across Hawaii, Canada and the US. John Travolta, Bruce Willis and Blake Jenner head a cast that keeps the film moving through its 92-minute runtime.

Ryan Swan tracks people for a living — bounty hunting is straightforward work until someone kills his father. The man responsible runs the Hawaiian criminal underworld from behind the kind of legitimate cover that keeps him untouchable. Ryan stops working within any system and starts cutting through the organisation layer by layer, trading process for speed and legal cover for nothing at all. Travolta plays the kingpin: unhurried, certain of his position, the sort of man who doesn't raise his voice because he doesn't have to.

The Hawaiian setting gives the film sun-drenched backdrops that contrast sharply with what happens in front of them — tourist shorelines and backroom violence sitting a few miles apart. Straightforward genre work, cleanly executed. Stream Paradise City (2022) online on iFILM.
