Mallory Kane is a highly trained operative who works for a government security contractor in the dirtiest, most dangerous corners of the world. After successfully freeing a Chinese journalist held hostage, she is double crossed and left for dead by someone close to her in her own agency. Suddenly the target of skilled assassins who know her every move, Mallory must find the truth in order to stay alive. Using her black-ops military training, she devises an ingenious—and dangerous—trap. But when things go haywire, Mallory realizes she’ll be killed in the blink of an eye unless she finds a way to turn the tables on her ruthless adversary. (Relativity Media)

Enjoyed it a lot but was hoping for something more thrilling both in terms of story and action. Hopefully she'll  be offered more good movies and choose to do them because this could be the start of something great and not before time. I often wonder if Sigourney Weaver had been happy to do action movies and had been offered and said yes to Die Hard how that would have played out.
