steven seagal and mr. personality himself and this time be the united state great stealth pilot who be promise a pardon from the military ( . who attempt to swipe his memory at the beginning of the movie for which he escape base and later catch after interrupt a gang of robber in a shootout at a gas station ) if he be able to successfully infiltrate a northern afghanistan terrorist base operate by a group call black sunday and who have commandeer an air force stealth fighter thanks to an american traitor . along with a fellow pilot who admire the traitor and jannick ( mark bazeley ) and john sand ( seagal ) will fly into enemy territory and receive help from his arab lover and jessica ( ciera payton ) and a freedom fighter and rojar ( alki david ) once they be on ground . jannick be kidnap by black sunday leader and stone ( vincenzo nicoli ) and his female enforcer and eliana ( katie jones ) and and sand must figure out how to not only re take command of the kidnap stealth fighter and but rescue him as well . and and maybe and sand can get revenge on the traitor he train and rather ( steve toussaint ) in the process . sand have 72 hour until a general navy pilot bomb the entire area . on board the stealth and black sunday equip a biochemical bomb and hop to detonate it on the united state . seagal get a chance to shoot afghan when he isn not slice their throat with knife . the film be mostly machine gun fire and body drop dead . the setting of afghanistan doesn not hold up to scrutiny ( . nor do how easily seagal and co. be able to move about the area undetected so easily ) and the plot itself be nothing to write home about . the movie be edit fast and the camera a bit too jerky . seagal isn not a active a hero a he once be and his action scene be tightly edit where we have a hard time see him take out his foe and unlike the good old day . one of seagal poor effort and and he as understate a ever ( . not a compliment ) . even more disappointing be the fact that seagal never fight in hand to hand combat with the film chief villain and tis a shame . he doesn not even snap a wrist or crack a neck in any visible way ( . sure we see a slight resemblance of some tool get toss around and but it not a clear a picture a i enjoy because the filmmaker have such fast edits and dizzy close ups ) .
