A retired British Special Air Service agent (Jason Statham) is forced out of exile when his former mentor, Hunter (Robert De Niro), is kidnapped and held for ransom in the Middle East. While trying to save Hunter's life, Danny gets involved in a no-holds-barred confrontation with a renegade leader (Clive Owen) who is protecting a cell of soldiers and assassins operating within a secret government organization.
while i know it is based on a true story, i found it too unbelievable...just didn't connect with the story. without the story, its just a movie with a lot of bombs and fights - and i've seen better.
some good moments and some dumb ones. overall, a deent action movie.
