Demoted and drummed out of his job as a CIA black ops guy (haven't we heard this before? See Numbers Station), Aaron Eckhart gets a job in Belgium (see, I said he was demoted) for a security firm.
The trouble is, that security firm is a front for something or other, and one day Eckhart shows up for work to find out the company has not only closed down his office, but has erased all record of him, or any other employee working there.
Now that kind of retirement is one that many of us long for, but in this case it turns nasty, when all of his ex co-workers are killed.
So starts a story that has been done a million times better by one Jason Bourne, and maybe a hundred times better by Liam Neeson and a few others.
Eckhart has his moves, and plays them well enough, but one just watches and waits as he gets roughed up, then roughs up someone else, then there's a car crash, then an explosion, and so on until the scheming business mogul is permanently silenced, and everything's back to normal in sleepy Belgium.
