We may still be waiting for ‘imminent’ news on the return of Daisy Ridley in the ‘New Jedi Order‘ project, but she’s keeping herself plenty busy in the meantime, reuniting with two-time Bond director Martin Campbell on action thriller Dedication after their yet-to-be-released thriller Cleaner. Daisy stars as Billie-Jean Parker (a fitting Christian name given this is a thriller) who is a ‘decorated Marine Corps commander who is relieved of duty after a high-stakes mission in the Philippines results in civilian casualties‘.
“Dedication” follows Major Billie Jean Parker (Ridley), a decorated Marine Corps commander who is relieved of duty after a high-stakes mission in the Philippines results in civilian casualties, despite capturing anarchist leader Omar Romatas. Facing the loss of her career, she visits her dying father, Clyde, a former Marine, who asks her to attend a dedication ceremony for a school building named in his honor. The event takes a deadly turn when Omar Romatas’s vengeful son, Bento, launches an assault, taking hostages. Forced back into combat, Billie Jean sets traps and executes precise strikes to outwit the attackers. Her tactical instincts and ruthless efficiency shift the fight, as she confronts her past and proves her worth in a relentless battle that will define her legacy.
