When the past lures Peter Devereaux out of retirement, the ex-CIA agent finds himself entangled in a political conspiracy involving high-ranking CIA officials and the Russian President-elect.
Assigned with protecting Alice, a woman whose secrets threaten the future of old alliances, professional circumstances pit Devereaux against his former protégé and friend, Mason, a sniper with deadly aim.....
When these types of thrillers are released at this time of year, they always are, for some reason, quite comforting. They are perfunctory for sure, but always feature a good performance from a prolific actor, and some sort of feasible twist in the final reel.
It's like its 1997 again, a year when these sort of cat and mouse thrillers were released every week, and made decent money. In fact,Mathis film could have been made back then, had the majority of the same cast, but Tomorrow Never Dies came out that year, so Brosnan would have been busy.
Narrative is solid, if predictable, and one minute Brosnan is the villain, and then the next, Bracey is the Villain, so it does keep you in your toes a little.
After all the red herrings are cooked and fried, we are left with a film that is okay, but you'll never be bothered about seeing it again.
But it's better than any Bond film Brosnan made that didn't have the word Gold in the title.
