Here (2017) ��� You Were Never Really

(2017) is a haunting neo-noir thriller that strips the typical vigilante narrative down to its raw, psychological bones. Directed by Lynne Ramsay , the film stars Joaquin Phoenix as Joe, a traumatized veteran and former FBI agent who makes a living rescuing missing girls through brutal, efficient violence.

Joe lives in a state of fractured reality, haunted by visions of his childhood abuse and the horrors of his military service. He spends his days caring for his elderly mother in their quiet New York home and his nights tracking down children sold into sex trafficking. When a prominent politician hires him to rescue his preteen daughter, Nina, from a Manhattan brothel, Joe finds himself ensnared in a web of high-level corruption that threatens to consume what remains of his sanity.
