| Elevator Pitch |
New York is under attack from terrorist cells, making increasingly violent attacks on the infastructure. A senior FBI agent leads the search for the bombers, assisted (or not) by a female CIA agent and hampered by a gung-hu general who establishes martial law in the city. |
| Content |
Lots of gunfire, some explosions and a bit of torture. Some implied sexual activity and male nudity. |
| A View |
We can see how this is going from quite early on, and it moves along OK, with reasonable interaction between the main players. Not top of my list and probably better if you are a Denzil Washington fan. |
