Warning: Spoilers
Matteo (Rico Verhoeven) is part of a special forces/SWAT group called in when the bad guys decide to a crowd funding at gun point at the Germany's national opera. Matteo disobeys direct stand down orders and fires on the group. His best friend and commander from "the war over there" is killed. Matteo is next seen traveling and doing various construction jobs. In Amsterdam, Interpol manages to bust a shipment belonging to both the Consociation and Sindokheth. Matteo visits the widow (Marie Dompnier) of John who has remarried Paul (Peter Franzén) who works in investing. Garbriel Saban (Frank Grillo) the head of the Consociation, is a $15M Euro customer in crypto who doesn't see his money in his account. At this point the script writes itself minus any clever dialogue or decent sound track. The production unfortunately had neither. Matteo, like so many hero good guys is quiet and lacks character. What happened to Liam? The girls at Gabriel's Amsterdam club were neither hot nor naked. What;s with that?

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
