Goofs

In the bank robbery at the beginning of the movie, Alex's mask is pulled off and her face becomes open. And they draw her Picture according to witnesses. But since the action takes place in a bank, there should be security cameras everywhere and exact shot of her face could have been obtained.

User Reviews

Campanelli's maiden attempt goes in vain!

Without any new or unusual plot in his female centred action flick debutant director Stephen Campanelli has not succeeded.

Myself tired on hearing 'One last mission', 'Find the secrets behind the mystery', 'where is the ____?' in action thrillers.

Entire movie revolves between Olga (protagonist) & James Purefoy (antagonist). Torture scenes lead by James Purefoy shown him as a powerful villain. Former Bond girl Olga is not bad in action.

Another keyword in the cast is Morgan Freeman. His presence as senator doesn't make any difference to me. Repeated story deflates the entire movie.

Overall you can spend 90mins if you love to watch ladies in action, others please don't waste your time.
