Sean Penn is a trained killer. He works independently (with a couple of team members) in Africa as a hired mercenary. When a high profile job is completed, he has to leave the continent (and his girlfriend) and decided to retire. Ten years later, he has changed careers and is trying to fix himself psychologically by working for an NGO back in Africa. Unfortunately, someone tries to kill him and he must now work out who and why and then kill them first (of course). This is gritty, but predictable. I didn't really buy the angst that Penn is purportedly going through. I didn't buy the relationship with the girlfriend. There are not even outstanding action sequences. Overall, a 2nd rate action/thriller.
2 stars (out of 5)
