In a world where nations do exist and there is in reality a political struggle for power, this movie couldn't be more timely. It uses a play on the theme of the ancient Chinese military philosophical writing's by sun Stu. Sun Stu said that you don't attack your enemy until you know you can defeat him and you defeat him form the inside, using his weaknesses against him. This movie brilliantly applies this philosophy into the world of international relations. This movies does all of this in the one man vs. the world schema, in the light of all action movies (Segal, van Dame, etc) but it does it with real acting, plot and suspense, not phony explosions and action sequences.
All in all you will love this movie and watch it again and again. I promise this film is worth watching!
