Storyline

Firefighter Gordon Brewer is plunged into the complex and dangerous world of international terrorism after he loses his wife and child in a bombing credited to Claudio "The Wolf" Perrini. Frustrated with the official investigation and haunted by the thought that the man responsible for murdering his family might never be brought to justice, Brewer takes matters into his own hands and tracks his quarry ultimately to Colombia.

User Reviews

Arnold at his best.

Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Gordon Brewer a fire fighter who goes to pick up his wife and son. Then a bomb goes off instanly at the cafe kills a bunch of people including his wife and son. Arnold is grief stricken and decides to take matters into his own hands and sets out to find the man responsible. This was Arnold at his best. Unlike most of Arnolds movies. This character was believable. He was no spy, no super human machine. Arnold said he'll be back. And he does not lie.
