John David Washington Finds Himself on the Run in Trailer for the Netflix Action Thriller BECKETT

Netflix has released released the first trailer for a new intense action-thriller titled Beckett. John David Washington stars in the film as a tourist named Beckett, and he finds himself trapped in Greece and on the run trying to survive a crazy, confusing, and messed up situation that he’s found himself in.

The film also stars Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider) as Washington’s girlfriend who goes missing after a car accident while they’re on vacation. The full synopsis reads:

While vacationing in Greece, American tourist Beckett (John David Washington) becomes the target of a manhunt after a devastating accident. Forced to run for his life and desperate to get across the country to the American embassy to clear his name, tensions escalate as the authorities close in, political unrest mounts, and Beckett falls even deeper into a dangerous web of conspiracy.

The movie was directed by Ferdinando Cito Filomarino, who has previously served as second unit director for Luca Guadagnino on films such as A Bigger Splash, Call Me By Your Name, and Suspiria. The script for the film comes from Kevin A. Rice. It actually looks like a solid thriller!

Beckett is set for release on Netflix on August 13, 2021.
