资深特工伊森·亨特(汤姆·克鲁斯 Tom Cruise 饰)也有百密一疏时刻,他在接收最新任务时遭到神秘组织“辛迪加”的暗算落入对方手中。辛迪加是一支由全球各地前特工组成的秘密组织,此前一直被CIA视为空穴来风。在对方成员伊莎·福斯特(丽贝卡·弗格森 Rebecca Ferguson 饰)的帮助下,伊森逃出生天,并及时向威廉?布莱德(杰瑞米·雷纳 Jeremy Renner 饰)汇报了辛迪加确切存在的消息。然而此时布莱德的日子并不好过,他负责的IMF机构因俄罗斯核弹头等事件遭到CIA指控并责令解散。在得知该组织密谋刺杀奥地利总统时,伊森联系上了老搭档班吉·邓恩(西蒙·佩吉 Simon Pegg 饰)展开行动,并于谜样女郎伊莎再度相会。
接下来的一连串事件中,辛迪加的真面目逐渐揭开,而他们也终于显露出真实的目的……
“Lobo Feroz is a loose, revitalised adaptation of Big Bad Wolves. There were many changes that we made when you compare it to the original, given that we added new characters, plot strands and locations, and we introduced and fleshed out new themes teetering between dark comedy and police thriller. The film questions one’s principles, human behaviour and how ambiguous it can be,” the director explained to Cineuropa. “I’m very happy to be able to work with a dream Spanish cast, where everyone demonstrates their enormous talent and commitment in every scene and through every single detail.”
The screenplay for the movie – written by Juan Manuel Foode Roma and Eva María Alonso Moreno – follows a police officer on the fringes of the law and a woman seeking revenge. Their paths cross, as they are obsessed with discovering the identity of the murderer behind a string of brutal crimes involving various girls. They are both willing to do whatever it takes to secure a confession, even though they will have to take the law into their own hands in order to do so. At the same time, a model detective will do his utmost to avoid irreparable errors being made and to ensure that this desperate search for the truth does not transform into the fiercest of wolves.
