The present-day investigations, killings, and conspiracies unfold against a backdrop of modern-day crime. The flashback reveals how a young Mike was molded into an assassin by Big Ray, setting up the central conflict between professional duty and personal emotion.

A seedy assassins' pub that serves as the central meeting spot for professional killers, where Big Ray tends bar and rivals plot deals. The Oasis sits as a smoky, neon-drenched den within a crime-ridden city, a micro-world that shapes Mike's early training and worldview. It doubles as a social hub for the criminal underworld and the source of Mike's resolve to walk away from mercy.

🗡️ Vigilantism

The line between justice and revenge remains thin as he confronts betrayals and corrupt orders. Big Ray's warning echoes: detach emotion from the work, or pay the price. The film ends with Mike choosing to act as a guardian, not just a gun-for-hire.

🧭 Mentorship

The relationship anchors Mike's decisions, offering guidance and harsh warnings about emotional involvement. The flashback reveals the power dynamics and debt of loyalty that drive Mike's later choices. The dynamic exposes how mentorship can both save and corrupt.

🏭 Corruption

The plot centers on corrupt oil interests and a cynical power structure, from Beth's environmental activism to Kent's murder-for-orders. The revelation of Atal Zim's bribery and the sabotage surrounding Pankot Petroleum exposes how money buys silence and complicates justice. The recording and killings expose a systemic cycle where victims become pawns. Mike's acts dismantle a web of influence, but not without cost.
