A hard core Interpol Agent is assigned to an Eastern European task force to target gun trafficking and dope running throughout the Balkans. While investigating a Russian gun dealer, his team is caught in a bloody street war between a Gypsy gang and the Russians, leaving one task force member dead. Fueled with vengeance, he heads out on an action packed thrill ride while avenging his friend's death. ----- Un agent d'Interpol coriace est envoyé en mission périlleuse en Europe de l'Est dans le but d'éliminer les trafiquants d'armes et de drogues dans les Balkans. Alors qu'il traque un contrebandier russe, son équipe est coincée au centre d'une guerre de rue sanglante opposant le clan des Gypsies à celui des Soviétiques. Voulant venger la mort d'un de ses agents, il prépare et met en branle une revanche explosive. Steven Seagal is back to break bones and take names in this primitive yet effective tale of honor among thieves. This time around, the Big Guy (who also wrote the script) is a member of the International Drug Task Force bent on avenging the death of his partner by an up-and-coming Balkan mobster with a penchant for barely clad female henchmen. As the resulting bodies begin to block the flow of Eastern European traffic, Seagal receives unexpected help in his vendetta from an older gangster repelled by the new wave of crime. Lauro Chartrand, a former stuntman making his directorial debut, relies a little too heavily on swooshing camerawork and stuttering edits, yet still manages to deliver a fair number of inventively staged action sequences, anchored by the strange yet undeniable charisma of his leading man. Seagal may be settling into his autumn years--these days, the husky star doesn't so much move during fight scenes as draw thugs into his gravitational pull--but he still knows how to bring the pain. -- Andrew Wright
