Great foundation. The execution? Toss-up.The Nothster plays an ex CIA agent with a recurring romantic nightmare.The agency wants him back, but he keeps running away so...they force him back to Jakarta.Jakarta was mostly used for scenery and atmosphere here. Any city would have given a similar result with this plot.Noth has a girl in his past that he thinks has been nixed. Has she? We head for 'nesia to see. Chase scenes commence. And of course he has an old buddy there. For words from said buddy? "Make it Johnny Walker Black...on me." Hey, he just happened to be in that bar.The acting wasn't bad really. The cast did their best and created some pretty tense moments.The chase into the XXX theater was funny. ("Look at the size of that...PIPE.") And the Indonesian puppet shows lent a bit of flair as well. Even if it had little to do with the story.For fans of Asian based actioners only.

No plot to speak of, lots of fight and chase scenes, and a very young Chris Noth doing a silly sex scene or two. Stay home and watch Law & Order or Sex & The City reruns on TV instead of wasting your valuable entertainment time on Jakarta.

I was unable to sleep tonight, so I went to do some work on my computer. I turned on the tv and started searching for something to fill my ears while my mind worked. Apparently, I did both.Chris sports a beard in parts of this one, which make him super sexy. There are also shots of him making love, and MAN! does he have an amazing body. =)I first learned about Chris from Sex and the City, and loved him ever since. I wait for reruns of Law & Order, or S&tC.There are some decent car chases in this one, but I'm buying it for him.I love Mr. Big- Nicole

An interesting story on an apparently limited budget. Though filmed in an exotic local, the film was riddled with bad cuts. For example, a character is bare headed during a struggle and then appears with a hat a split second later. However, as B-movies go it was better than most. Though it features a token, drop-dead gorgeous femme fatale (Sue Francis Pai), she had an intelligent role and was actually one of the better actors in the film. If you want an entertaining but not mentally taxing action-adventure flick, this is it.
