Mack's Revenge: On The Run
The Setup: What You're Actually Getting Into
Mack's Revenge: On The Run is a 2026 action-drama that picks up two years after its protagonist, Mack Coker, killed the Bandits and avenged Lola Brently's death. He thought he was done. He wasn't. A woman named Morgan Brassil finds him anyway—and she's got a job: take down Travis Ramos, a cocaine-addicted cult leader trying to resurrect a dead drug lord's influence. What starts as a recruitment pitch becomes a survival test, and the question the film keeps circling is whether two years of running have left Mack sharp enough to survive it, or just worn him hollow.
The tagline is "A Wanted Man, A Dangerous Mission," and it's not ironic. The film doesn't oversell that premise either.
Why Morgan Brassil Changes Everything
Here's what's interesting about the character work: Morgan isn't waiting to be rescued. She's the one doing the hunting. Ayana DeSimone brings a specificity to the role that keeps her from becoming a plot device—you believe she has her own reasons for tracking down a wanted man and handing him a suicide mission. That power dynamic shift is rare in action films, and it changes how the entire recruitment arc plays out. She's not a sidekick. She's not eye candy. She's the catalyst.
What strikes me is how the film actually manages the tonal gap between action and drama. Most films trying to straddle both genres fumble the quiet moments—they don't trust silence. This one seems to understand that Mack's two years of running have to feel like something, not just backstory. The scenes where he processes what Morgan is asking carry weight that the action sequences then have to earn back. Hard to say if every viewer will feel that balance holds, but the intention is clear.
Cast and Crew: Who Made This
Director: Savion Soares (also producer, through Soares Productions)
Studio: NK Productions & Soares Productions
Lead: Jack Skerry as Mack Coker
Support: Ayana DeSimone (Morgan Brassil), Anthony Lautieri (Travis Ramos)
Skerry carries most of the film's weight. His Mack is a man who's learned to compress grief into action—the performance doesn't oversell it, which is exactly what the script needs. Lautieri, meanwhile, has the harder job: making a coke-addicted cult leader trying to summon a cartel figure feel genuinely unhinged rather than cartoonish. The production design leans into the fugitive aesthetic without going full grit-porn. There's coherence to the world-building here.
Where to Watch Right Now
Currently streaming: Plex (free, ad-supported tier)
That's the main landing spot for independent titles like this—Plex's free model is a smart fit for word-of-mouth discovery. Movie OTT tracks real-time streaming availability across platforms, so if the film moves to additional services or rotates off Plex, the where-to-watch widget updates before most other sites catch up. Your region matters—availability varies by country, so check the widget at the top of this page for what's live in your area right now.
Critical Reception (Still Forming)
As of now, there are no published critic reviews on Letterboxd, so the critical consensus is still building. The IMDb page is in early listing stages—no box office data or festival circuit details have made it into the public record yet. That's normal for a 2026 indie title with a lean footprint. These films tend to build audiences through streaming rather than wide theatrical runs, which means the real conversation happens after people actually watch it.
Honestly, the structural bones of the film give critics something real to work with. A fugitive protagonist. A compelling antagonist. A woman who recruits him into danger rather than falling into it. When reviews start landing, Movie OTT will be updating coverage with aggregated scores and critical takes, so check back once the conversation picks up.
If You've Watched Similar Films...
If you liked fugitive thrillers where the protagonist actually gets to breathe—or cult-conspiracy crime dramas that treat the villain as something more than a set piece—this one's built for you. It's not a blockbuster. It's a focused, lean production with a small cast and a story that earns its genre beats. The action doesn't overshadow the character work, and the character work doesn't drag the action down. That balance is harder to pull off than it looks.
Should You Watch It Tonight?
Yes, if you've got 90 minutes and you're in the mood for something that doesn't talk down to you. Plex has it free with ads. No subscription barrier. No algorithmic mystery about where it landed. It's there.
The thing nobody mentions about indie action films is that they often move faster than studio productions because they have less to prove. Mack's Revenge: On The Run feels like that—a team executing a specific vision without committee notes slowing it down. Savion Soares' ownership stake in the production shows in the pacing. You can feel when a filmmaker actually believes in what they're making.
Worth a watch.
