Summary: Bo Svenson can't be saved by Gruner as the antagonist
Review: Ex-Navy SEAL Jack Thorn, played by Bo Svenson, is retiring from his job as the CIA's Director of Covert Operations is ready to retire and go fishing. Jack's replacement is Marcus Clay, played by Olivier Gruner, who is conspiring along with other to cause a global economic collapse in order to get rich.

I wasn't sure what I was going to think about this movie when I first saw it, this was Olivier's first movie playing the antagonist. He does a great job being the antagonist, he has the physique of a mysterious bad guy. Unfortunately, with the exception of Amy Weber who plays Jack's assistant, all the other actors don't do a very good job of portraying their characters. Along with some jokes from both Bo Svenson and his supporting cast that aren't funny, this is where the movie really falls short.

In terms of the special effects, of what their are, they are pretty good. The sound in this movie just seems a little off though, in some parts the music overshadows the dialogue. Not to mention the fact that the volume level you play the movie at seems to be higher then the average movie, maybe the microphones weren't close enough while filming.

Overall, the movie is worth seeing only if you are a die hard Olivier Gruner fan. I recommend seeing another movie such as Nemesis or Velocity Trap if you are looking for a entry-level Olivier Gruner movie. If you pick-up the DVD version of this movie, don't expect anything, not even a trailer as the an extra.

Overall - 2/5

Review: I was going to write a review but hell, why waste my time. I would never recomend this movie to anyone I like. With 1000's of new movies out every year why would anyone be interested in this one? My recomendation... don't watch it on a full stomach.
