The movie is a political thriller dealing with terrorism. It calls for the “vantage point” or point of view of several different characters.

The movie then takes you through the points of view of the several characters caught up in the chaos. As each characters vantage point is revealed the pieces of the puzzle eventually start to fall into place. It is a movie that is thrilling, heart pounding, fast paced race to the finish and will have you at the edge of your seat guessing on what will happen. It is rated PG-13 for sequences of intense violence and some disturbing images and some inappropriate language but it’s probably nothing you can not handle.
