***SPOILERS*** sloppily made international political thriller that has to do with a nominee for vice president Louisiana Governor Chip Majors who's somehow involved, in knowing too much, about the North Korean uranium enrichment program that's threatening world peace. That's if the North Koreans are able to produce military grade plutonium to fit into their intercontinental missiles and .150 to .300 mm artillery shells.It's before Chip is to attend a major contributer shindig at a swanky New Orleans hotel that he decides to let off some steam by fooling around with his favorite $1,000.00 a pop hooker so he can loosen himself up for the important political affair. It's just when he popped himself up with a couple of Viagra pills and is about to go into action that Chip notices that his sexual partner is, with a gun and silencer attached to it, planing to rub him out before he can even pull his pants off. Beating her, the hooker, to the punch Chip ends up both disarming and strangling her to death. With the two Louisiana state troopers who were protecting him coming to his aid their shocked to find the governor is such a embarrassing and compromising position. In a hotel room with his clothes off and a dead hooker laying in his bed!The two state troopers Devin Taylor & Tom Cobb, with Taylor somewhat hesitant, are given one million dollars by Chip to cover up the whole mess that he just got himself into. A mess that would not only destroy his political carer but can land him behind bars for 10 to 15 years!The movie jumps from Louisiana to off all places war-torn Afganistan where officer Cobb's estrange wife Gloria is working with the US military as a CIA interrogator. It's then that we realize just what all this has to do with Governor Chip Majors. It's in what Chip knows about the North Koreans and their nuclear ambitions that he can really do them lots of damage. That's if he ever gets elected vice president and informs his boss, his party's Presidential Candidate South Carolina senator Edmund, about them and their future military plans!It's then that the film start to get completely out of hand with gangs of North Korean hit squads who originated out of Afghanistan to provide the North Koreans with cover, in not being connected with them, in trying to eliminate Gov. Majors before he and his running mate Sen. Edmund end up in the oval office! ***SPOILERS*** With a number of shoot ups car chases and explosions to keep the audience from falling asleep, in trying to follow what the film is trying to tell them, Gov Majors is eventually neutralized but only after officer Taylor, by refusing to take his bribe money, decides to turn him in. Officer Cobbs who played along with the corrupt Governor ended up getting iced by the North Korean sponsored assassins to also make sure that he doesn't talk if, like Taylor, he decides to change his mind. In the case of Officer Taylor he doesn't have to be silenced by the hit teams since he, by trying to play the good guy in the movie, ended up getting framed in the Governors murder and is set to spend the rest of his life, if he's in fact not executed, behind bars!P.S Even though he gets top billing in the movie actor Billy Zane is on screen for less then five minutes. Zane plays CIA chief of Far Eastern Operations Graham who orchestrated this entire sleazy and criminal operation and at the same time, in him being almost invisible in the film, not wanting to be connected to it.

Terrible movie. This should be labeled a comedy. Separate plot lines (connected by a mere unnecessary phone call) mixed with terrible acting cause a true one-of-a-kind movie watching experience.How expensive is good camera work? All the shots in this movie are from the view point of a midget in the back of a crowd; always looking up and peoples backs listening to people talk.All background information is given through long, boring monologues. As far as the plot goes, this could possibly be an interesting start to a political thriller. But it took way to long to go nowhere with it.All in all, a terrible movie. 1 star. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.

This is the first time I have EVER complained about a movie. It was so bad that I purposely joined IMDb.com to write a review. The acting is very poor (a real joke)! Robyn Givens actually gave the best performance of the cast-which isn't saying much! Eric Roberts must have known this film would flop. It shows in his demeanor. I kept wondering what was wrong with him. Roberts usually gives a decent performance. Poor Billy Zane tried to give it a shot but the writing and directing seemed to be done by amateurs. I couldn't make it through the film and had to shut it off because I didn't want to waste my time. I plan to read reviews here at IMDb before renting my next movie.

I don't usually make reviews, but in this case, I felt it necessary to do so for the good of mankind.This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. On a scale of 1-10, I gave it 1, but only because I couldn't choose 0 or lower.All that ever happens in this film is talking, and half the time it's off-topic and supported by terrible acting.The acting is bad, the plot/story is bad, the action is bad. Take my advice and stay away from this.I can never get back the hour and a bit that I lost while watching this, but I can hopefully help you to avoid making the same mistake.
