The Abduction of an International Assassin
3 December 2016
"Sam Larson" (Kevin James) is an aspiring writer who desperately wants to have a spy novel he is working on to get published. Although he has a vivid imagination he depends on a friend named "Amos" (Ron Rifkin) to give him inspiration for his book due to the fact that Amos once worked as a clerk for the Israeli intelligence service and has plenty of knowledge on the subject of espionage. Then one day Amos tells him a story which so excites Sam that he immediately puts every detail down in his book even though Amos had sworn him to secrecy. However, no sooner does his book hit the internet then Sam is abducted by a Venezuelan revolutionary named "El Toro" (Andy Garcia) who believes him to be an infamous assassin known as "the Ghost" and orders him to kill the President of Venezuela. To make matters even worse, he is subsequently abducted by a Russian narcotics dealer named "Anton Masovich" (Andrew Howard) who instructs him to kill El Toro. Not long after that he is abducted once again by a general loyal to the Venezuelan President who demands that he kill Anton. And all three men mean business. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a decent comedy which contained plenty of action from start to finish. Although the acting wasn't great by any means, the plot had several twists and turns along the way which kept things interesting for the most part. Likewise, having a beautiful actress like Zulay Henao certainly didn't hurt either. In short, this was a somewhat entertaining film which I believe some viewers may enjoy and all things considered I rate it as slightly above average.
