Ruthless is a 2023 American action thriller film written by Javier Reyna, James Dean Simington and Art Camacho, directed by Camacho and starring Dermot Mulroney.[2][3]
The teenage daughter of Harry, a high school wrestling coach, is murdered and the killer sent to prison. Subsequently he becomes concerned about one of his students, a young girl named Catia, who is being physically abused at home by her stepfather. Harry takes it upon himself to protect Catia and provide her with a safe haven, but his actions soon involve him in a dangerous human trafficking ring. When Catia is kidnapped by the traffickers, Harry embarks on a dangerous mission to Las Vegas, rescue her and bring down the criminals.
As Harry delves deeper into the world of human trafficking, he discovers that the problem is more widespread and insidious than he first thought.
