action
Jonathan Cold is an ex-CIA agent and is now selling his services to the highest bidder. This time he is tasked with freeing a dangerous arms dealer from prison. Disguised as a doctor, Cold gains entry and walks out with the prisoner. But the silence is deceptive, Cold and the prisoner are caught. Cold dies.
After Cold was declared dead, he suddenly reappears to help a gang of Russian gangsters get an atomic bomb. He is watched by his former student Amanda Stuart, who is targeted by the gangsters. Cold can save her. Together they solve a plot in the ranks of the CIA.
criticism
The film received mostly negative reviews. The lexicon of international films described the film as “a made-up action film tailor-made for the aged hero actor Steven Seagal,” which “uses the clichés of the genre too slowly.” David Nusair of Reel Reviews describes the film as “mediocre”. It is true that he attested director Alexander Gruszynski at least “an inkling of a [content] connection”. But he restricts himself too much to clichés by resorting to "sneering villains, double-sided heroes and some other action decorations". Seagal's performance is "typically sluggish", but an improvement on his earlier films.
synchronization
The German synchronization was carried out by Scala Media GmbH in Munich. Dialogue direction was directed by Peter Woratz , the dialogue book was written by Stefan Sidak .
