Though not a brilliantly cast movie, the direction seems to put the movie in the right direction but the screenpla couldve been better with a little bit more planning. Ofcourse it has the tag of an international movie but lacks the lusture to perform. The story is good but 1 thing i dont understand is howcome dennis quaid doesnt recognize the pseudo president after taking a bullet for him earlier, does he suffer from amnesia? I guess the director didnt put a thought to it. Overall its watchable.
