Hounds of War (2024), directed by Isaac Florentine, is an action-thriller that brings together a notable cast including Frank Grillo, Robert Patrick, and Rhona Mitra. The film follows a team of mercenaries on a mission that spirals into a quest for vengeance after a betrayal leads to the death of one of their own.

The narrative centers on Ryder (Frank Grillo), a seasoned mercenary who, along with his team, embarks on a high-stakes operation. When the mission goes awry due to internal betrayal, Ryder seeks retribution, setting off a chain of explosive confrontations.

Hounds of War attempts to deliver a gritty action experience but falls short due to its clichéd plot, underdeveloped characters, and technical shortcomings. While it may appeal to die-hard fans of the genre or the lead actors, most viewers might find it lacking in depth and execution.
