Alarum

2025 · 95 min

A breezy, twisty spy caper with shootouts and double-crosses that plays like a disposable but fun vacation thriller.

Tagline: One hell of a vacation.
Overview: Two married spies caught in the crosshairs of an international intelligence network will stop at nothing to obtain a critical asset. Joe and Lara are agents living off the grid whose quiet retreat at a winter resort is blown to shreds when members of the old guard suspect the two may have joined an elite team of rogue spies, known as Alarum.
