Widowed former CIA agent Jack Foster (The Shadow Man) is an enigmatic Fortune 500 business owner, and is the father of an 8-year-old daughter named Amanda.

But upon arrival at the airport in Bucharest, Romania, a car bomb blows up his CIA agent father-in-law George's limo and Amanda is kidnapped.

Outside, two Romanian cops named Seaka and Urich put Jack in a car, and take him to the station.

Anya explains that her husband and daughter died three years ago while she was an intelligence agent in England.

Seaka and Urich get wind of it and decide to send a couple of patrol cars to Club Lido.

At the club, Jack sees Anya, and he confronts her in the women's restroom as Seaka, Urich and the patrol cars arrive.

After Seaka and Urich leave, Jack and Anya arrive, and see a patrol car outside the building.

What Jack and Anya do not know is that Schmitt is working for a corrupt CIA agent named Waters, who wants to sell the MKUltra to the highest bidder.

On the next day, Schmitt and one of his men track down Cyrell, a wheelchair-using man who is watching over Amanda for Anya.

Seaka dies, and Urich calls Jensen and asks for a meeting on the roof of a parking garage.

Back at the large house, Jack calls his CIA friend Rogers, who is a hacker.

As part of a plan to set Jensen up, she tells him that Jack is meeting with Waters and Schmitt in the central library.

Rogers hacks into the MKUltra program and puts an end to the project, and Jack is reunited with Amanda.

The original story was a period piece with Seagal as an intelligence officer who runs a medical clinic in Japan after World War II.

By September 2005, however, Logan was no longer involved, and the script was being penned by Joe Halpin (author of several Seagal features in the mid-2000s, including Submerged, Into the Sun, and Today You Die).

These changes were met with disappointment from some fans, who were excited to see Seagal star in a film that was a departure from the action movies he had done in recent years.

Imelda Staunton, a year after her Academy Award-nominated performance in Vera Drake, appears in the film as Ambassador Cochran.

[1] David Johnson of DVD Verdict called the film "a generic action film with an uninvolving plot, stilted action sequences, [and] some shabby green screen work, predictable twists," adding: "Seagal doesn't distinguish himself from any other character he's ever played and there's not enough interesting stuff happening on the periphery to distract us.

"[2] J. Andrew Hosack of JoBlo said, "The writing, story, action, and acting are all well below par," adding: "It boggles the mind how anyone remotely sensible would invest time and money in something like this.
