Frank isn't exactly thrilled with his latest assignment, but when his employer turns up the pressure, he has little choice but to deliver. His cargo is a feisty young girl named Valentina (Natalya Rudakova) -- who just happens to be the daughter of Leonid Vasilev (Jeroen Krabbé), the powerful top dog of the Ukraine EPA. Now, as Frank makes his way through Stuttgart and Budapest on the road to the Black Sea, Vasilev's men besiege his car from all sides, and his cynical young passenger gets a bad case of Stockholm Syndrome. As the driver and his cargo grow increasingly close, they both realize that making even a single mistake could cost them dearly. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Derek Adams, Time Out
The flashy editing gets on one's wick and no one's going to win an Oscar - but, really, who's complaining? This is straight-up fisticuff fun.
-
Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies
I had less problems with the characters and more trouble with the actual action, which felt really antiseptic to me.
-
Ben Lyons, At the Movies
A mindless, silly waste of time.
-
Christopher Borrelli, Chicago Tribune
It's hard not to smile.
-
Stephen Garrett, Time Out New York
Who knew a nice blazer could be used as an improvised nunchuck?
