But when a group of British soldiers are implicated in the murder of the Sheik's nephew, the prime minister begins to fear
that his political career could quickly unravel. Desperate, Prime Minister Hammond attempts to remain in the Sheik's good graces by revealing the location of a clandestine SAS unit in Afghanistan despite the fact that regiment had no involvement in the murder whatsoever. Two months after the attack all of the SAS soldiers are presumed dead, but Italian Special Forces reveal that the sole survivor, Captain Jill Mandelson, incredibly managed to elude capture. Now Captain Mandelson wants answers. With the help of her twin sister Kimberly and some powerful contacts in the French Secret Service, Captain Mandelson prepares to confront the most powerful people in Britain to uncover the truth and hold Prime Minister Hammond accountable for his crimes. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
As a low-budget, quickly-made Brit flick, this is impressive for its ambition, but as a globe-spanning political thriller it lacks credibility and veers into the absurd.
Writer-director Tristan Loraine has grand schemes in the pipeline, but this absurd stab at sub-Tom-Clancy conspiracy thrills won't help his credentials. When Craig Fairbrass is your closest thing to a badge of quality, be afraid.
A low-budget British "thriller" that is comfortably the worst film I can remember seeing: threadbare plot, clunking dialogue, brain-dead conspiracy theorising, and a gallery of embarrassing racial stereotypes. Avoid at all costs.
