Someone is blackmailing the CIA by assassinating foreign journalists and making it look like the agency is responsible. As the world begins to unite against the U.S., the CIA must lure its most brilliant – and rebellious – operative out of retirement, forcing him to confront his checkered past while unraveling an international conspiracy.
A retired CIA operative, known only as the "Bricklayer," is forced back into action when his former agency frames him for the murders of his colleagues. To clear his name and uncover the truth, he must race against time, using his unique skills to expose a conspiracy within the agency. He partners with a fellow operative, navigating a dangerous game of cat and mouse across Europe.

Basic but serviceable action flick with the usual cast of cliched US "good guys" vs your standard fare villains.This films not going to set the world on fire but its not dreadful, either. Pacing is decent and acting is okay. In summary, ...
