Synopsis
Wesley Snipes stars in this explosive action film, which taps into early 21st-century fears concerning terrorism. Snipes plays a retired assassin who comes back for one last job when he learns of a deadly terrorist on the loose in London. But he's forced into hiding after being framed for a murder he didn't commit, and the film follows a plot similar to that of Luc Besson's LEON as he teams up with a pre-teen girl in order to prove his innocence.

Synopsis
Wesley Snipes is back in this explosive action-thriller about a deadly assassin who finds himself on the run when an attempt to kill a terrorist mastermind in London goes terribly wrong. Retired marksman James Dial (Snipes) lives a secluded lifeon his ranch in Montana. Haunted by his failure to exterminate one of the world's most notorious terrorists, he is approached by his old employers to finish the job in London, where the terrorist leader has been captured and is under heavy protection. What would be a routine mission for the sniper turns into a nightmare as Dial is forced into hiding and relentlessly pursued by the British police and their lead investigator, Windsor (Charles Dance). But when Dial is framed for Windsor's murder, he begins to realize that he has been seriously double-crossed. His only hope is a 12-year-old girl whom Dial reluctantly befriends as he desperately searches to find the killer and the truth behind his betrayal.

Customer Reviews

No,No,NO!!!!
When Wesley signed up for this movie, he couldn't have known, just how bad it'd turn out. He's always good for action movies, but not this one. I'm no movie buff, just like what I like, just say how it is. Don't rent it if you like Wesley Snipes, action, excellent soundtracks or brilliant acting. This film's got to be the worst rental I've had out in donkeys years. Save yourself,your 90minutes, ice cream and chocolate for a decent movie, 'cause they'd all be wasted on this D movie (if there is a lower rating, I'd use it!I've given it a star, otherwise I couldn't post this review)

Awful awful awful!
OMG ... why did I waste 90 minutes (or whatever it was) of my life watching this 3rd rate budget garbage!

I've always said, 'The English make films, but the Americans make movies!' and this was obviously a low budget English film (filmed in Bosnia, Russia or somewhere else like that to keep the budget lower!) It was like watching Torchwood (although thats much more fun!) meets CSI Hackney and Spooks (the bad episode!)

Where do I start? The setting ... Russia I think, looked nothing like london! The acting ... more wooden than a DIY store (even Mr Snipes looked like he couldn't really be bothered!), the relationship with the girl ... daft, wholly unbelievable, awful acting and why? ... and we didnt really care (tried to be like a Leon but fell 1,000 miles short). The action ... err non, other than armed british police running round kicking in open doors and firing bullets down the street willy nilly (yeah, just what our trained firearms officers do in real life!)

Classic moments:
1. When the English girl in pigtails and school uniform tells snipes how to get to somewhere and says 'its one block away'
2. How Snipes manages to evade 200 armed police on each occasion, even though he cant walk properly due to an earlier accident
3. How the police are searching a block of flats and just kick all the doors in and turn everyones house over then leave without even saying good bye (if they did that to my flat I'd be on Watchdog the next day looking forward to a nice big settlement and a few heads of police firings)
4. Free and easy access to any part of Heathrow Terminal 4 (yeah, just walk through an unlocked door!)
5. The AWFUL English actors pretending to be American CIA

You know what ... I cant even be bothered to think about it anymore! The only reason to get this dire film is if you're thinking 'sure, he has his view, but I may enjoy it' Well, watch it and then write back and say I was right!

Awful awful awful!

Continuity is not the only problem
Communist-era tower blocks masquerade as South London. The designers peppered the streets with English-registered cars, but left cyrillic-alphabet signage in situ. London never looked so grim.

Amongst Welsh phone booths, a Bulgarian train and many other inconsistencies London Heathrow Airport (Terminal 4) was the only place playing itself.

This was a real European tour, but no tour-de-force, with a weak storyline that stretched credulity in ways to many to mention.

Don't waste your time ... I am surprised some of the recognisable actors did.
