OK action thriller

Treach gives a more reserved performance than you'd expect from a rapper as a former agent who lost his eyesight due to misguided SWAT involvement in his latest mission, and after three years is approached by his mentor who promises to help him regain his eyesight in exchange for one more risky job. But neither the eye operation nor the job go as planned. Nia Peeples gives an enjoyable performance as the optometrist who gets involved in the action and begins to like it....and you won't believe she was 45 when she made this, she puts many women 10 years younger than her to shame. Plus, the image of her with a gun is painting-on-the-wall worthy. The two most interesting things about "Connor's War" are the gimmicks the director uses to depict Connor's "night vision" as it goes in and out, and the morally vague world the screenwriter creates, where the characters played by Garwin Sanford and Blu Mankuma may be at war with each other, but they show a similar disrespect for human life. Yes, there isn't really much that's new in this film, but it's done well enough and I don't regret watching it. (**1/2)
