The Gunman

The action begins in 2006 amid civil strife and a booming mining sector in the Congo. Eight years later, in 2014, Terrier returns as a charity worker and the past catches up with him. Interpol becomes involved as the mercenary network’s crimes threaten international security and broader interests.

Set primarily in the Democratic Republic of the Congo during a period of civil conflict and a lucrative mining industry. The story also moves to London and Spain, illustrating the global reach of private security networks and the markets that drive them. The Congo's conflict zones and mining towns provide a tense backdrop for assassinations and personal betrayals.

🗡️ Betrayal

Betrayal runs through the narrative, from the Congo mission that fractures loyalties to the abandonment of Annie when the hit is carried out. Former allies become adversaries as Cox and their ex-boss manipulate events for profit. The story shows how trust is easily broken in the shadowy world of private mercenaries.

💰 Exploitation

Multinational mining companies profit from instability in the Congo, shaping who benefits and who suffers. Private security firms profit from violence, creating a web of power that Terrier attempts to expose. The film exposes the human cost of profit-driven decisions and the moral gray areas of post-9/11 mercenary work.

⚖️ Redemption

Interpol’s involvement offers a path toward accountability rather than endless vengeance. Terrier fights through head trauma and relentless pursuit to protect Annie and reveal the truth. The ending hints at a possible new life after years spent in violence.
