Section Eight (also known as Section 8) is a 2022 American action film directed by Christian Sesma and starring Ryan Kwanten, Dolph Lundgren, Dermot Mulroney with Scott Adkins, Mickey Rourke, and Justin Furstenfeld.
During the US war in Afghanistan, a Marine platoon is ambushed by the Taliban, leaving only Jake Atherton and his commanding officer Captain Tom Mason as survivors.
After being discharged, Jake works as a mechanic in an auto-shop owned by former gang member Earl.
Jake is extricated from prison by Mason to be recruited by a man named Sam Ramsey for a secret organization called Section 8, which is sanctioned to “eliminate any threats, anywhere in the world.” The group of assassins goes on various missions including one to kill a senator.
[4] In a negative review of the film, Ewan Gleadow wrote that the feature relied on "blind patriotism and villainous stereotypes" yet marked "the most minor improvements" in Christian Sesma's direction.
