Hunting Jessica Brok is a 2025 South African action-thriller that unleashes a female-led adrenaline surge, blending gritty survival horror with high-octane vengeance in the unforgiving African wilderness. Directed by Alastair Orr (90 Harvest, The Lullaby), and written by Orr alongside David D. Jones and Garth McCarthy, the film resurrects a lethal operative from her quiet life, turning the bush into a brutal battlefield.

Once a ghost-like special forces assassin—cold-blooded, war-hardened, and feared across dialects—Jessica Brok (Danica Jones) traded her knives for motherhood in a sleepy South African town. But when vengeful psychopaths linked to her final botched mission kidnap her, leaving her daughter at risk, Jessica must shed her rust and revert to the killer she buried. Trapped by a ruthless warlord and his mercenary crew, she turns the tables: every broken bone becomes fuel, every kill a ritual. As the wilderness claims the weak, Jessica's chemical fury builds to a sacrament of survival—questioning if the human in her survives the monster she unleashes.

Praised as "South Africa's female John Wick," it's a pulse-pounding tale of redemption through rage, with practical stunts, visceral gore, and themes of maternal ferocity amid cultural clashes.

Tagline: "Don't wound what you can't kill."
