Synopsis
The Cold Light of Day (2012) is a spy action-thriller from director Mabrouk El Mechri, ready to watch online on iFILM. Henry Cavill takes the lead, with Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver alongside him.
Wall Street trader Will Shaw joins his family for a sailing holiday off the Spanish coast. The break is short-lived. He steps ashore, comes back, and finds the boat empty — his relatives gone, taken. From there he has only a handful of hours to figure out what his father was really mixed up in, and why intelligence agents will kill for a single briefcase. A familiar Mediterranean resort turns into a trap with no one he can trust.
Shot on location in Madrid and around Cádiz, it trades on foot chases through tight old streets and gunfights in hard southern light. The story rides the well-worn ordinary-man-versus-spooks track and springs few surprises, but the pace holds and the lead trio carries it. A solid pick for fans of lean European action.
