Zachary Levi plays Tucker, whose team loses its positions after a mission in Kabul. Information about money hidden in Iran helps bring the group back together for a rescue operation. Assumed identities and betrayals complicate their plans as the story progresses.
The review praised Larry Smith's widescreen cinematography while arguing that the characters were not developed enough to support the many reversals. It also noted that Liam Neeson's role occupies less screen time than his prominence in the advertising might suggest.
These are one critic's assessments, not a verdict shared by all viewers. The film uses real political settings for a fictional mission; its characters and operations should not be read as an account of actual events. The review's central concern is the balance between physical action and a clear, convincing story.
