Not being satisfied with killing the western genre, Christian Slater turns his sights on spy thrillers. Slater plays a former FBI official who now works at the US embassy in Sofia, Bulgaria. There is a vigilante assassin of "bad" Muslims that for some reason is a problem. We get to see that the killer is a dark haired woman.
In order to get Christian Slater back into the FBI business, the film incorporates the acting of Donald Sutherland, Hollywood's go-to guy for black ops since "JFK." In addition to the killings, the movie centers around Slater's obsession with a red headed belly dancer and a psychologist talking to a blond woman who teaches English.
The film gives you clues and key plot points almost in a manner of "Student Bodies" with a big arrow and the word "clue" by it. The camera will zoom in and pause to let us know the director thinks his audience is composed of idiots. Slater was unconvincing. Elika Portnoy was boring. This is not an action thriller, but a poorly developed drama/mystery.
On the plus side we did get to see some of the old architecture of Bulgaria.
Parental Guide: No f-bombs, no nudity, minor bed scene.

I occasionally write a review of a movie so poorly done simply to save people time and money. I rented this "new" because the movie I wanted was out and the previews and cover looked good - i.e. I like Sutherland and Slater. This was a dog of a movie even in the "straight to video" group, which are usually badly done yet sometimes mildly entertaining. This story was poorly written and by example, it hurts nothing to know that the psychologist (or whatever) role was so scattered as to make no sense; and Sutherland was in it a total of five minutes. There were at least three, perhaps four extended belly-dancing scenes and another "musical" scene where Slater played the guitar while the woman sang. Without those this would have just been a horrible hour-long movie. As it stands, it's an 88 minute insult to the viewers intelligence and a disgrace to the actors that lent their names to this trash.

Hi friends. I normally review mostly zombie movies,
so you know I can sit through some tripe on disk.
This movie was just O.K.
Slater's last good movie was Broken Arrow, including this
one. I want to say, I figured it out in about 30 minutes.
If you want to watch it, go ahead. I will not spoil the ending.
It was all predictable. If you want to do something, like
talk on the phone or wash the dog--while watching it, it
might just surprise you at the end.

"No questions, that's all I ask." When members of the Most Wanted terrorist list in Europe begin to get killed off the US Ambassador (Sutherland) sends for the best of the best. A former FBI field agent (Slater) begins to investigate. Judging by the plot and the cast this is one I was all ready to watch and enjoy. I had high expectations and was excited to see this. Then the movie started. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. The acting was OK, but the movie was just so incredibly slow moving that I really found it had to pay attention to. This really felt like a made for TV movie with better actors. There have been a lot of anti-terrorist movies lately and none of them seem to really be that interesting. This one had the possibility of being one of the best. Then I watched it. While not as bad as the Steven Segal or Dolph Lundgren movies that have been coming out it's still not anything to rush out and see. Overall, long and boring and hard to stay focused on. I give it a C-.

I don't know why others gave this movie such bad reviews. I thought it was great. But, then again, I'm blind and deaf. If I had to actually watch the acting, or hear the dialog, I'd probably barf like everyone else

The plot often left you wanting more. It was more of an OK movie than a real thriller. Not too bad for just a movie night.

I just viewed this movie today 12/18, Chris Slater plays his role very well, so does Donald Sutherland as the Ambassodor. I was happy it wasn't that violent, its a good movie for a B picture.
