In the newly released movie Beckett on Netflix, John David Washington plays an American tourist in Greece who gets involved in a devastating accident. Soon after, he becomes the target of an intense manhunt. He goes on the run, in an attempt to clear his name. And he eventually finds himself not only trying to outrun law enforcement officials. But also shady, corrupt elements of the government, and the specter of a dark political conspiracy. No -- this is not a remake of The Fugitive. But the inspiration comes from roughly the same place.
In press material about the movie from Netflix, Beckett director Ferdinando Cito Filomarino said he drew from lots of different manhunt stories. From both cinema and literature, other examples of which include the 1970s film Three Days of The Condor. "In creating this story, I thought it would be interesting to see what would happen if that archetypal hero was just an ordinary guy," the director explains. "So, the premise revolved around the question: How does an ordinary man manage in an extreme situation like this? How is he going to survive?"
