Wesley Snipes is back in this explosive action-thriller about a deadly assassin who finds himself on the run when an attempt to kill a terrorist mastermind in London goes terribly wrong. Also starring Lena Heady. Retired marksman James Dial (Snipes) is haunted by his failure to exterminate one of the world's most notorious terrorists. He is approached by his old employers to finish the job in London, where the terrorist leader has been captured and is under heavy protection. What would be a routine mission for the sniper turns into a nightmare as Dial is forced into hiding and is relentlessly pursued by the British police and their lead investigator, Windsor. But when Dial is framed for Windsor's murder, he begins to realise he has been seriously double-crossed. His only hope is a 12-year-old girl whom Dial reluctantly befriends as he desperately searches to find the killer and the truth behind his betrayal. - Actors:

Disappointing - The Contractor review by CP Customer
An 'action thriller' with little action and even fewer thrills. The first 15 minutes are OK then it is downhill all the way! Snipes has practically no dialogue and there is too much screen time given over to his soppy relationship with a 12-year-old girl. Cliched and predictable.
