“Canary Black” (*** out of four) was a rock-solid suspense melodrama about an assassin (Kate Beckinsale) who is blackmailed by various terrorists and government officials (Ray Stevenson, Saffron Burrows, Michael Brandon, and others) to save her kidnapped family and has to resort back to her survival skills to stay alive. Routine story of doublecrosses and governmental conspiracies made to a stylish sheen from director Pierre Morel (“Taken”) and film is well-crafted and well-oiled. Beckinsale is strong in a perfectly cast role; film is dedicated to Stevenson in one of his final roles.
