Ridiculous political action/thriller starring Wesley Snipes as a fringe-CIA man-for-hire who gets framed and stuck in the middle of a big conspiracy. Heavy handed politics, lack of clarity in presenting the characters, and poor acting plague the film. Of the principle actors, Snipes probably gives the best performance, which says a lot. His companion/hostage/partner is an annoying Chinese woman whose dialogue is moronically meta, often blabbing analysis about macho bullshit (thank you Rae Dawn Chong). The film must have been trying to separate itself from the run-of-the-mill B-rate thriller, but sadly her presence was more agitating than enlightening. This one is not worth the film it was printed on.
5/10
