Denzel Washington stars as a rogue CIA agent who turns himself in after a decade on the lam, then escapes an attack on the secret interrogation facility where he is taken in Cape Town with a rookie operative (Ryan Reynolds), setting these two opposites on a run for their lives. Swedish director Daniel Espinosa (Easy Money), screenwriter David Guggenheim, and cinematographer Oliver Wood (the BOURNE trilogy) have made a bracing and energetic tale of corruption and conspiracy with excellent performances from both stars as well as from a supporting cast that includes Vera Farmiga, Brendan Gleeson, and Sam Shephard.
