Final Score

During a high profile football match, armed men storm the stadium and seal off the arena, forcing tens of thousands into a deadly standstill. Ex soldier Michael Knox is pulled back into the fight, relying on hard earned tactics and calm focus to slice through the confusion. He threads his way through concourses, tunnels, and the playing surface, improvising as the attackers' plan unfolds. His mission is twofold: protect the innocent crowd and reach Danni, the daughter of a fallen comrade, who becomes a vulnerable focal point in the chaos. As the siege tightens, Knox persuades, negotiates, and fights to buy time, hoping to avert a catastrophe that could claim many lives. The clock ticks and the crowd breathes deeply.

Directed by Scott Mann and released in 2018, Final Score adapts screenplay by Jonathan Frank, David T. Lynch and Keith Lynch. The film pairs Bautista's physical presence with Brosnan's menace in a compact action thriller shot on location across Europe.

While not a cultural phenomenon, the movie offers a relentless siege setup that nods to classic late 90s action cinema. Its practical stunts, clear stakes, and brisk pacing contribute to Bautista's growing reputation as a credible action lead. The stadium setting provides a ready-made spectacle that fans remember fondly today.

Critics praised the lean, high tempo and Bautista's drive, while noting that the script favors efficiency over depth. The film wrestles with duty and resilience under pressure, showing a lone soldier balancing personal risk with a larger mission to protect strangers amid chaos today. Brosnan adds menace in sharp exchanges.

Worldwide box office was about 1.47 million dollars against a 20 million budget, reflecting a limited release and modest commercial impact. The release strategy kept the film in select markets and theaters, limiting its overall visibility and profitability in theaters.
