00:15I
00:16Think he is a force of nature
00:28I'm going to give you one chance
00:30Tell me where she is
00:32And I'll let you live
00:33I'm not in charge
00:35I can help you get to him
00:38I don't need your help
00:46I'm coming for you
00:47It takes place on the edge of human psychology
00:50And yet it's both
00:51The way you inhabit Nikki, Mila
00:53Is visceral
00:55But also very physical and emotional at the same time
00:58And Adrienne, you have to capture that
01:00And make it run
01:01Because there's so much going on
01:03Beneath the surface
01:04In addition to the breakneck speed
01:07Could you each talk about that approach
01:09Both psychological
01:10And then the visceral and physical
01:13I mean, for me
01:14For me, it was one of the most difficult movies
01:17That I've ever made
01:19Action-wise and emotion-wise
01:22You know, it was such a real character
01:25I mean, I'm not fighting monsters
01:27I'm really fighting real people
01:32For the life of my child
01:34And also fighting my own ghosts
01:37And fighting my own guilt
01:40You know, it took a lot out of me
01:43Physically, emotionally
01:46You know, it was very different
01:48And, you know
01:50I think it's just such a special film
01:54Because it navigates so many
01:56Very difficult subjects
01:58But in a really raw and gritty way
02:02And at the end, of course, you know
02:06It ends up that it's not just about
02:09Like, killing the bad guy
02:11It's something completely
02:13Absolutely
02:14Something you didn't expect
02:17I've been taught all there is to know about
02:20Taking a life
02:23But giving a life
02:24Bringing someone into the world
02:27Chloe! Happy birthday!
02:29Caring for a child
02:30You're so beautiful
02:32You're like my best friend
02:34I just hope you know that
02:36You're on your own
02:40In any disappearance
02:43Especially that of a child
02:47Chloe!
02:48You have to 72
02:51Precious hours to find them
02:56I have to find Chloe before it's too late
03:01Did you have to prepare differently
03:03Though, Mila?
03:04In terms of training
03:06Or just like breaking down the script
03:07Or how you approached it?
03:09You know what?
03:09Yeah
03:10I worked really closely
03:12With one of my good friends
03:14Who's a lieutenant colonel
03:15In the military
03:16She's one of the first women
03:19That, you know
03:22That got her ranger tag
03:26And she's been a military advisor
03:28On other films
03:29And, you know
03:31We worked very closely together
03:32On building the character
03:34Of Nikki Halstead
03:35And how she would have gotten
03:37The skill levels that she has
03:39And what she would have gone through
03:41And what Matthew Modine's character
03:44Would be in the story
03:47And we really built up
03:49Like, such a strong past
03:53Of, like, who she is
03:55To have gotten to where she's gotten
03:58So, yeah
03:59There was a lot of just
04:01Talking about the character
04:04And where she's coming from
04:05And who she is
04:10It's funny how much training
04:12I've had in taking a life
04:15Years with the third cav
04:17Then the regiment
04:20Special ops
04:24Lifetime of experience
04:27I can tell you to the exact second
04:30How long it'll take you to bleed out
04:31If I make an inch-long incision
04:34In your carotid artery
04:37Tactics, weapons, munitions
04:40Covert ops, black ops
04:42Battlefield triage
04:43The logistics of death
04:45I've studied it all
04:48In great depth and detail
04:53Yeah
04:55I've been taught all there is to know
04:56About taking a life
05:01But giving a life
05:02Bringing someone into the world
05:05Caring for a child
05:09No one tells you jack shit
05:13You're on your own
05:14Adrian, could you talk about
05:16Sort of capturing that pressure cooker
05:18But understanding
05:18Because the structure is very specific
05:20And in also a lot of your other movies
05:23You've approached sort of
05:24This edge of human psychology
05:25What it's capable of
05:27And how it responds
05:28Could you talk about that?
05:29I'm actually really happy
05:31You mentioned
05:31And you understood
05:33The whole psychological issues
05:34Going on in the movie
05:36Because I think
05:37This is a dramatic movie
05:42Which is threaded
05:44With those action scenes
05:45That make it entertaining
05:46And it makes people
05:48Cheer and enjoy
05:50What they're seeing
05:52But thinking of
05:54Of the psychological undertones
05:56That are present throughout
05:58And I've always liked
06:00I've always liked that kind of project
06:02And this was spot on
06:04With everything we were able to do
06:06And rewrite together
06:07Because we were able to do that
06:08And it was
06:09It made the movie so much deeper
06:24Oh, what the f**k?
06:32Go, go, go
06:49Get her ass off the f**king car
06:52Get her ass off the f**king car
06:52I'm not gonna get her pay
06:53I'm not gonna get her pay
06:53I'm not gonna get her pay
06:54Get her off the f**king car
06:56F**k you
06:57Not getting back
06:58Swing off
07:00F**k you
07:08Yeah, I mean
07:08We're dealing with subject matter
07:10That does not get
07:12A lot of attention in Hollywood
07:14You know
07:15And I think a lot of people
07:18Really shy away from it
07:20Because it is so distressing
07:22And I think
07:24You know
07:25The way that
07:26That Adrienne handled it
07:29You know
07:30Was beautiful
07:31Because there is so much respect
07:33For the subject matter
07:35And at the same time
07:37We gave the movie enough
07:39Of that impactful
07:41Like violent thriller
07:43Action pack
07:45To make it
07:47Like palatable
07:49Primal
07:50Primal
07:50It feels tribal
07:51It does
07:54You have no idea
07:55What you're dealing with
07:57What she's capable of
08:00That woman has killed
08:01Thirteen people
08:04Thirteen human traffickers
08:05Who is she?
08:07A mother
08:07Looking for a child
08:08That was abducted
08:09I want this woman found
08:10And I want her dead
08:15I want her dead
08:16I want her dead
08:17I want her dead
08:21I want her dead
08:24I want her dead
08:25I want her dead
08:25I want her dead
08:25I want her dead
08:26I want her dead
08:26I want her dead
08:27I want her dead
08:28I want her dead
08:28I want her dead
08:28I want her dead
