Storyline

In Spokane, an elite government killer goes rogue on the day that engineer Allen Campbell loses a promotion and finds his best man with his wife. Allen goes drinking that night and chats up a stranger who turns out to be Jonas, the hit man. Jonas asks Allen to give him a list of five people he'd like to see dead, so a drunk Allen lists his boss, the guy who got the promotion, a nasty bookie, the best man, and his wife. By the next morning, the boss is dead, and Allen realizes Jonas is for real. Can he stop Jonas? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

A Good Movie!
10 May 2011 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I enjoyed the movie. Other reviewers mentioned that Cuba Gooding appeared bored during this movie. I liked the premise and the acting. Everyone did an very good job in their roles. I would recommend it to those that enjoy an action flick with an unusual story line. It held my attention and the ending was an emotional moment given all that I had learned about the characters during the course of the movie. Cuba Gooding was outstanding and did a real interpretation of the character that he was portraying.

I was pleasantly surprised with the entire movie and would tell all my friends to rent it.
