Paul Schrader directs Nicolas Cage, Anton Yelchin and Alexander Karim in this espionage drama about a CIA legend, with a deteriorating brain, tracking down his long-lost nemesis. 

This was allegedly taken off Schrader in post production  by the producers and blanded down from an immersive drama to a DTV potboiler. Plot-wise this certainly has potential and ambition beyond being a poor man’s Taken but the end product comes across as flat, cheap and standard. A waste of Yelchin and a shame for Cage.
