action
Ray Carver lives as a contract killer in Prague . He is given jobs by his friend Leo. So this time too: Ray is assigned to wipe out a gang boss and his followers. However, the job does not go completely smoothly and the remaining members are looking for revenge against the rival group of the Suverovs, which Ray also hired.
In order to wipe out the remaining members, the Suverovs hire the "Wolff" Aleksey Andreev, who always attracts attention with his penchant for Hawaiian shirts, American cars from the 1970s and his little black dog. He starts to stir up the other clan and kills some of their members. However, they have ordered Ray to eliminate the Suverovs.
But Ray is not only in Prague "for work". A private matter also brought him here. The daughter of a murder victim who watched Ray kill her father lives in Prague. A relationship develops between the two, but it falls apart when she finds out that Ray murdered her father.
Meanwhile, Ray and Aleksey clash, where Ray has the chance to kill Aleksey but doesn't. The Suverovs have now caught Leo and he betrays Ray. So his apartment is stormed, where they find an album with photos of Janice. These kidnap the Suverovs and lure Ray to them. However, Ray fails to take them all off and Aleksey saves his life. Ray puts Janice in a taxi to leave Prague.

criticism
"A tender love story should not be missing in a solid actioner for tough men, in which the only warrior Dolph Lundgren alludes to the general lack of imagination."
"Cuba Gooding Jr. and Dolph Lundgren stand up as opposing hit men in a rampant gangster war in front of Prague. The exuberant Lundgren is especially fun. Gooding, on the other hand, gives the impression, as is so often the case, of not being entirely happy with the development of his career. But it is also possible that the Oscar winner creates his role rather melancholy. Fiery action entertainment on a dignified technical level. "
“Lundgren with a Hawaiian shirt, hat and dog is a real hit, but you shouldn't expect too much from this cheap production filmed in Bucharest: routine action, a certain drastic, a bit of rushing and Gooding Jr., who is supposed to be the hero here, but rather than pulling it over. "
