Everyone remember holidays? Usually what you had to worry about was your luggage going to Torremolinos while you head to Athens, or getting overcharged at the local market. But what if you were just trying to enjoy a nice holiday with the one you love and you end up hunted by gun-toting police officers? That's the situation faced by tourist Beckett (John David Washington) in the new Netflix thriller Beckett. Check out the trailer...

While vacationing in Greece with girlfriend April (Alicia Vikander), Beckett becomes the target of a manhunt after a devastating accident. Forced to run for his life and desperate to get across the country to the American embassy to clear his name, tensions escalate as the authorities close in, political unrest mounts, and Beckett falls even deeper into a dangerous web of conspiracy.

Ferdinando Cito Filomarino directed the film, working from a script from Kevin A. Rice that feels very much like a 1990s thriller. Boyd Holbrook, Vicky Krieps, Yorgos Pirpassopoulos and Daphne Alexander are in the cast for this one, due on the streaming service on 13 August.
