really stupid premise
Neil Shaw (Wesley Snipes) leads an United Nations covert team under the control of the Secretary-General Douglas Thomas (Donald Sutherland) and Eleanor Hooks (Anne Archer). They are able to blackmail the Chinese into a political deal. Some time later, FBI agent Frank Capella (Maury Chaykin) finds a shipping container full of dead Vietnamese refugees from Hong Kong presumably under the control of the UN. In a banquet, assassins attack. Businessman David Chan (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa) is injured and Chinese Ambassador Wu (James Hong) is killed. As Shaw chases the killers, he is captured by NYPD cops thinking he’s the killer. Julia Fang is a witness who proclaims his innocence to Capella. As Capella transports Shaw, they are attacked and Shaw is taken but he escapes. Then Thomas and Hooks are blackmailed to cancel the Chinese trade deal.

The secret UN squad idea is really stupid. I appreciate the Wesley Snipes kung fu fighting but it just adds to the stupidity and the ridiculous nature of the plot. I don’t why this has to be about the UN. It’s the least sexy way to add international intrigue. Director Christian Duguay is only able to give passable action scenes. If the script could be straighten out and shorten, this could be a reasonable B-action movie. At two hours, it’s way too long. For about an hour, I could overlook some of the stupidity but it becomes too much to bare.Read More
