    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The film is infamous for Steven Seagal's almost total lack of involvement in any of the fight scenes due to his leaving the film 18 days into a 30-day shoot. Alexander Gruszynski shot fights with stunt doubles and scenes that were to involve Seagal were shot with Tamara Davies instead.
    • Goofs
      During the fight scene with Seagal and Greer, you can clearly see it's not Seagal but a stunt double. His jacket even changes between black and grey.
    • Quotes
      • Jonathan Cold: You see, in this business... the keys to the kingdom is weapons-grade plutonium. If you ain't got that, you ain't got shit.
    • Connections
      Edited from The Foreigner (2003)
