Samuel Drake (Chadwick Boseman) is working the night shift as a cab driver in Portland when he's approached by a pair of executives (Peter Greene and Ted Rooney) with an offer he can't refuse. AWOL Marine sniper Sgt. Devin Carter (Tory Kittles) has been eliminating members of the contracting firm while hiding out in the Oregon mountains, and the executives want him dead. But they never expected what would happen if the job went awry, and as the two soldiers forge an uneasy alliance, Lt. Drake finds redemption may finally be within his reach. Billy Zane co-stars. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Made up of four or five story ideas all crammed together, the film maintains a stop-start momentum at best that keeps it from ever hitting a solid stride.
-
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
An unconvincing, sometimes unfathomable tale about a brooding veteran (Chadwick Boseman) who was involved in a vaguely defined atrocity while fighting overseas.
-
Dennis Harvey, Variety
A middling drama that tries to combine elements of Rambo with serious treatment of soldiers' post-traumatic stress disorder and vague political commentary.
-
Chuck Wilson, Village Voice
Boseman and Kittles somehow push past the blather to reveal the inconsolable grief and fury that so often haunts our vets.
-
Jamie S. Rich, Oregonian
...the serious subject of post-war trauma among Iraq veterans [folded] into a revenge and redemption scenario...sometimes interesting but all too often cartoonish.
