Denzel Washington plays a CIA operative who has gone rogue. He has stolen something and is trying to sell it. He gets caught by the CIA while he is in South Africa, and he is taken to a safe house for interrogation. The safe house is run by Ryan Reynolds.
While he is being interrogated, a heavily armed team of terrorists / assassins / whatever breaks into the safe house to kidnap Denzel. They kill the CIA guys, and Reynolds escapes with Denzel. Most of the movie consists of Reynolds trying to keep Denzel in custody. Denzel's operative is a legend in the CIA, and this is Reynolds' first big mission. Which means Denzel is calm and not worried at all about this kid - he could basically escape any time he chooses.
We've seen this movie before. There is some decent action in the middle of the movie, but it is badly edited. I also didn't like the look of the movie. It looked like a bad imitation of a Tony Scott movie. The color scheme was just ugly.
It isn't giving much away to say that at least one person in the CIA is involved in this, and Denzel may not have gone rogue. Or he may not be the bad guy they claim he is. An hour after the movie I had forgotten all about it. This is a very forgettable movie.
