Evan Lake, an office-bound CIA agent, is forced into early retirement when he begins to show signs of dementia.

Not as bad as the mess that Cage delivered with other recent films, but this work doesn't rise above the gray mediocrity either. In any case, there is once again an attempt to tell a story without too many detours, and it succeeds nicely, albeit that the credibility is sometimes hard to find (the relationship between victim Cage and his enemy has deteriorated over the years. very different). It's a shame if you have Cage and Schrader on board you produce a film that obviously shouldn't cost too much. The setting in Romania (always cheap), the short running time and the way in which the story is rushed at the end, are partly to blame for the fact that this film hardly works on an emotional level, and in the end it cannot be called special.

Not a bad thing, the confrontation between two who are deteriorating, and some moralistic nonsense about things not being the way they should be. But it's all about how it works. And it is mediocre.

22 years after an undercover operation in which he was tortured by Muhammad Banir [Alexander Karim], CIA trainer Evan Lake [Nicolas Cage], thanks to his young colleague Milton Schultz [Anton Yelchin], encounters evidence that his presumed dead nemesis is still alive and has experimental drugs shipped to his hometown of Mombasa in Kenya. The pair travel to Bucharest with the help of Michelle Zubarain [Irène Jacob] to find the drug supplier and put in place a plan that will finally allow Evan to take revenge, even though he is also becoming seriously ill himself. Far-fetched excuse for a strange and unbelievable thriller that relies on Cage, because the other roles (especially Yelchin's) are poorly developed and therefore quite ungrateful.
