From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Scripted by Sylvester Stallone, this is a routine action thriller with a storyline that seems partly inspired by Jacques Tourneur's Out of the Past.
Jason Statham plays an undercover cop trying to build a new life for himself and his daughter in redneck small-town America after busting a Hells Angels kingpin.
James Franco (reprising his sleazy villain schtick from Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers) is a local meth dealer who takes against him.
It's a pity to see a director of the ability of Fleder (Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead) directing such plodding genre fare.
