A betrayed Wesley Snipes broods his way through this understated though predictable cat-and-mouse thriller. He plays a retired CIA marksman who finds himself on the run from both British police and his US bosses after he's called on to assassinate a terrorist in London. Low-key realism dominates, as director Josef Rusnak uses measured pacing and moody atmospherics to add interest to the otherwise formulaic events. Even the action sequences are unusually small-scale, making their flashy fast-edits feel incongruous. Solid performances offset the feature's direct-to-DVD status, with Inkheart's Eliza Bennett impressive as the precocious young truant whose befriending of Snipes evokes Luc Besson's Leon.

Former CIA Operative James Dial is coaxed back into action to kill a terrorist in London, but it all goes wrong and he is forced into hiding, where he meets and befriends a 12 year old girl.
