Patrick Hughes (2017)
The protection business is booming. Corruption has pushed the demand for professional armor-guarding above the roof. Wealth is a mountain climbed with slimy, profiteering hands. Micheal does not think too much about his clients' ascents, all he is concerned with are the enemies they have collected on their rise to the top.
Micheal's operation gathers scenarios. He prides himself on foreseeing the unforeseeable. He has rose to his AAA status by being as fickle as the scumbags he chaperons. Saving lives is the business model, but one cannot help but to wonder if this is a misuse of resources.
Darius is Micheal's worst nightmare. An assassin that does not subscribe to any logistical course plans, Darius is the intangible crack in Micheal's security. They are at odds without being enemies. Neither has respect for the other, but they both walk with a subdued fear of one another. Well maybe just Micheal does.
As even the least astute viewer could predict, the two fill the roles of yin and yang in unashamed cookie cutter ways. Conveniently paralleled backstories pull the unlikely duo into a phony symbiosis, and the breaks in character flow from this light bromance.
What is a nobler calling: Saving the lives of pampered villains, or killing them? Neither is righteous, but the origins of these careers hold some promise. Taking up very little screen time are hints of these heroes' calls to adventure, but clearly monetary fulfillment robbed their sympathies along the way.

ALL LIFE IS WORTH PROTECTING
