When you have an actor and martial artist who is as physically gifted as “The Raid” star Iko Uwais, you don’t want to bag him down with too much plot. Unfortunately, that’s what the upcoming “Headshot” does (read our review), but at least when it’s time for Uwais to get down to business, you’ll get what you paid for.

Directed by Timo Tjahjanto and Kimo Stamboel, the story doesn’t really bring much new to the table, spinning a Jason Bourne-esque tale about a man who literally washes up on share with no memory of who he is but blessed with some incredible fighting skills, and his journey to find out his past. Here’s the synopsis:
HEADSHOT centers on a mysterious young man who, after months in a coma from a gunshot wound to the head, is nursed back to health by a young student-doctor, Ailin. Realizing that the man has lost his memory and identity, the two quickly grow closer, not realizing that behind their momentary peace lays danger. Soon their lives collide with a gang of dangerous criminals led by an enigmatic crime lord — and with every violent confrontation, his memory brings him closer to a dark truth as the lethal personality awakening within him starts to reveal who he really is.
“Headshot” hits theaters and iTunes on March 3rd.
