The Fix movie review: Liam Neeson, Zachary Levi’s geopolitical thriller loses the plot

The Fix, a geopolitical thriller starring Liam Neeson and Zachary Levi, attempts to address issues in the Middle East but ultimately loses its direction. The film follows Tucker, a group of Americans, and their CIA handler Larry, as they attempt various missions in Afghanistan and Iran. Tucker and his team infiltrate Kabul in 2021, after a US retreat due to the resurgent Taliban, and later Iran, where the Revolutionary Guards pose a significant threat.

They seek to recover $25 million hidden in pre-Revolution Iran and recover an activist named Maryam, who is targeted by the Revolutionary Guards. The plot involves double-crossers and numerous twists, taking the audience through various locations including Kabul, Virginia, Tehran, and Baku. While the cinematography is commendable, the film's 142-minute runtime feels unnecessarily long, and the story loses focus, much like the complex geopolitical landscape it attempts to depict.
