Spoilers ahead
In the tumultuous year of 1999, amidst the chaos in Kosovo, Serbian soldiers are wreaking havoc on an Albanian village. Enter Sergeant 1st Class Aaron Hallam, portrayed by Benicio Del Toro, a top-tier soldier and covert operative. Hallam infiltrates an enemy stronghold and confronts a Serbian commander, ultimately killing him in a swift act of violence.
Fast forward to present-day British Columbia, where L. T. Bonham—played by Tommy Lee Jones—has transitioned from that life of combat to a more peaceful existence working for the World Wildlife Fund. His current task involves treating an injured wolf, and soon after, he confronts the man responsible for the animal’s suffering by slamming him into a table.
