While we know little about One day like a lion, the first poster teases the film’s tone. In key art, we see the three main stars in front of the “Diner” sign, which emphasizes the neo-Western setting of the crime drama. According to the official synopsis, One day like a lion is a tribute The Coen Brothers, known for their prowess at writing westerns and crime stories. Among the sources of inspiration One day like a lion, the synopsis matters too Quentin Tarantinowhich could indicate how bloody and violent the upcoming movie could be.
One day like a lion was filmed in 2022 when we got the first details of the story. Now, with the help of the synopsis, we can start to pick things up and get a clearer picture of the upcoming thriller. Kaan, who has impressive acting potential, will play a contract killer who gets involved with dangerous people in an attempt to get enough money to get his son out of jail. His target, Simmons, is some tough celebrity who isn’t easily beaten, forcing Jackie Powers of Caan to flee. Fleeing from the criminals who hired him, Jackie joins forces with a bored waitress, Lola, who begins her journey as a hostage and becomes the partner of a failed hitman.
On top of that, there is a thug sent to kill Jackie after he failed his mission. While nothing has been confirmed, Grillo would make sense to play the main villain, as the star has a knack for bringing irresistible villains to life, from Crossbones in the MCU to his latest role as a cult leader.
