Action fans cancel bank holiday plans to binge ‘slick’ Amazon Prime thriller
The question is, who can you trust?
Looking for something to do this bank holiday weekend? Well Amazon Prime Video has the perfect TV thriller to keep you entertained.
It’s called Butterflay and the six-part drama is set in the bustling South Korean city of Seoul, starring Daniel Dae Kim (of Lost and The Good Doctor) as the semi-retired gun-for-hire David Jung.
The show kicks off in a high-end hotel, where a visiting politician is under surveillance for a bold assassination attempt (think Day of the Jackal vibe), which is being organised by a shady and deep-pocketed private intelligence agency.
The young assassin on the job is Rebecca, played by Reina Hardesty. Next on her kill list is the rogue and not-really-retired agent David, who’s highly trained in field work.
Adapted from a graphic novel by Arash Amel and Marguerite Bennett, it turns out that David and Rebecca know one another.
The former intelligence agent is on a mission to protect his wife and daughter, while also reckoning with an incident from his past that comes back to haunt him. Ominous stuff.
