London Calling is a 2025 action-comedy drama directed by Allan Ungar, starring Josh Duhamel as a hapless hitman who flees Britain after a botched assignment and ends up entangled in an unlikely mentorship arrangement with his new crime boss's teenage son — blending sharp humor with crime-thriller stakes.
What is London Calling about?
When a professional killer's mission falls spectacularly apart in the UK, he has no choice but to put serious distance between himself and the fallout. Landing under the thumb of a powerful new employer, he is handed a task he never anticipated: keep the boss's kid in line and out of trouble. The boy, full of big dreams and reckless energy, is the last company a burned-out contract killer would choose. What starts as a grim babysitting arrangement gradually becomes something more unexpected — a rough-edged road toward responsibility, unlikely respect, and reluctant fatherhood that neither of them saw coming.
Cast & crew
Josh Duhamel leads as the weary, wisecracking hitman at the center of the story, bringing both physical credibility and dry comic timing to the role. Aidan Gillen plays the crime boss, lending his trademark cool menace to proceedings. Jeremy Ray Taylor holds his own as the boss's son, while Rick Hoffman, Arnold Vosloo, and Daniah De Villiers round out a cast that keeps the energy sharp throughout.
Context & significance
Action-comedies that pair a reluctant adult anti-hero with a young charge have a long tradition in Hollywood, and London Calling leans into that formula with confidence — positioning its hitman protagonist as both threat and protector. For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, the film's themes of being far from home, navigating a world of shifting loyalties, and making unlikely connections will carry a familiar emotional resonance. The film is available on K-Time with full Persian dubbing, making it easily accessible to all members of the household regardless of English proficiency — a practical advantage for family viewing nights.
