A decent mystery/ action film. All the characters are decently interesting especially Deakin played by Charles Bronson. The story itself is intriguing and keeps you guessing on who is involved in the arms deal.

This is a highly underrated film and I loved the entertainment value it provided. I was not a huge fan of the pacing but the surprisingly good plot made up for it. As usual, Charles Bronson is a badass and makes every bit of this film as exciting as it is.
