Mina (Sofia Black-D'Elia) is a regular British student living at home with her parents and younger sister. One night, three unknown men invade her family home. Unbeknownst to her, her mother was a nanny to Arab warlord Khalid's son in 1988. The Soviets killed the son and Khalid mistakenly assumed that Mina's mother was a spy. He had vowed blood vengeance. With her parents dead, she goes on the run from Khalid's men. MI6 hires private contractor Simon (James Frain) to protect her.

The action is staged poorly and I don't believe that the kids could escape from the gunmen. Some better staging would make the constant escaping more realistic. The unrealism in the plot do keep piling up. On top of that, the twenty plus years difference makes any romantic moves difficult. I do like the two leads but a romance between them is a bit creepy. The surprise reveal is not much a surprise at all. The plot tips that hand quite early on. There are better twists later on. This action thriller has a few too many problems with unrealistic plot turns and below average action work. Bullets do not bounce off into nothingness even if the car is bulletproof. All in all, this is a weaker effort.
