Continuing her efforts to prove and that anything her other half can do, she can match, Elsa Pataky (AKA Mrs. Chris Hemsworth) is back on our screens. He's in the MCU? She joined the Fast & Furious universe. He has a Netflix action franchise via Extraction? Cue Pataky starring in new thriller Interceptor, which has a trailer online...
Directed by Matthew Reilly, and co-written by by Reilly and Stuart Beattie, Interceptor stars Pataky as the tough and reality-bruised Captain JJ Collins, who finds herself in charge of a lone nuclear missile interceptor base in the middle of the Pacific Ocean after she is wrongfully drummed out of her dream job at the Pentagon.
When a simultaneous coordinated attack then threatens the base itself, Collins comes face-to-face with the charismatic yet crooked Alexander Kessel (Luke Bracey), a former US military intelligence officer intent on carrying out an unthinkable plan. With only minutes on the clock, Collins must utilize her years of tactical training and military expertise to determine who she can trust and stop Kessel and his covert mercenaries from completing their twisted and terrible mission...
There's definitely a blend of Die Hard (defending somewhere from attackers) and The Rock (missiles on a location in the middle of a body of water), in the DNA here, but neither of those movies feature Pataky stabbing a dude in the eye with a gun.
Interceptor will be on Netflix on 3 June.
