An American action thriller; A story about a CIA Global Response Staff operative who has infiltrated a crime organisation involved in human organ trafficking. The film features impressive visual effects and stunts which involve explosions and firefights which hold adequate tension. A variety of Philippine locales provide some colourful and exotic distraction too. However, too much of the second act is given over to characters mulling over a colleague's death and not enough on building a story and fleshing out characters. Seagal has presence in his enigmatic character but I detected detachment too - he has precious little screen time. Edoardo Costa as the syndicated crime boss plays his part well.
