Intrigue and danger fill this thinking man's thriller. Louis Salinger(Clive Owens)is an Interpol agent with a checkered past on a mission to discover and expose an arms dealing ring. He manages to find an ally in a pretty Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Eleanor Whitman(Naomi Watts); the two find themselves deep and deeper in a secret world of corruption, greed and conspiracy. It seems a global bank with a stellar reputation, IBBC, is laundering money to assist terrorist groups and in the process of making a deal with China to supply weapons to military factions in the Middle East. Taking control of credit is taking over the seat of power. Things aren't exactly a cakewalk for Lou and Ellie; IBBC is powerful enough to make police reports, court records and even investigators disappear.
The plot at times gets a little murky; but the action is not lacking. Very impressive settings and locations. The cast also includes: Armin Mueller-Stahl, Brian F. O'Byrne, Michael Voletti and Ulrich Thomsen.
