Shares a similar plot with another Wesley Snipes movie, The Detonator (2006). In both movies, Snipes played an ex-C.I.A. operative whose career took a turn south with one botched mission. Several years later, he gets recruited by an old friend to do "one last job", only to be betrayed by this friend. With the authorities and his betrayer pursuing him, (and in spite of being a black man travelling alone in a European country) Snipes' characters manage to keep low profiles long enough to clear their names.
A trained operative, subject to an intense manhunt, makes no real attempt to disguise himself. Keeps wearing the same coat, fails to shave off his mustache or cut his hair.
Michael Biehn was scheduled to appear in this movie, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts with Planète terreur (2007). He was replaced by Ralph Brown.
Charles Dance and Ralph Brown both appear in Alien 3!
