Plot Synopsis
Storyline
There were those who called him Icarus. Everyone else knew him as a divorced father working for an investment company. But they didn't know his other side-his dark side. Because Icarus was at his best when he was killing people. For years, he'd worked as a sleeper agent in America-but when the Soviet Empire collapsed, he found himself in a foreign country with no one to trust. Determined to break from his dark past, he started over with a new identity. But you can only escape your past for so long. When a sudden mishap in Hong Kong blows Icarus' identity, past and present collide - and the assassin realizes he is now the target. The people that want him dead will stop at nothing to get to him. And that means going after what he cares about most-his wife and daughter. Fighting for his life, Icarus is forced to face the demons of his past to protect the loved ones in his present. He must fight to save the only thing he's ever done right in his life. He needs to uncover who is after him ... Written by Anonymous

Trivia
Dolph Lundgren admitted he didn't like the new US title "The Killing Machine" and found it rather stupid, the original title "Icarus" being more mysterious and intriguing. See more »Goofs
The Beretta 92FS Inox pistol used by Icarus suddenly changes to a Taurus PT92 and then back to a 92FS Inox during a shootout. See more »Quotes
Edward Genn: That's the funny thing about fate... if you don't follow, it will drag you where it wants to go.See more »
waste of money. - Dolph did what he could to save the baddest directed movie ever... plot was as lame as the "special effects". extremely poor, not even worth renting. Man, what are the productions spending their money in ? such a waste of money & taxes. First, the storyline & dialogs are so poor that even a child could have done it better...But it wasn't enough ! the special effects & 3d blood spots on camera are the worst ever made... camera shakes as a blender & the acting is... as good as the rest ! Finally, what is the link with "Icarus" ?!!! the title was certainly sorted by drawing lots, no connection with Icarus at all... This is truly the Worst movie ever made... A total disaster !
