Plot

Workaholic reporter, Jack Elgin takes his family on a working trip to India, but their aircraft is hijacked in Cyprus by a previously-unknown terrorist movement, and his wife and daughter are among the slaughtered.

Sinekatalog’s take

A reporter whose family is killed in a hijacking turns vigilante against the terrorists responsible. The thriller is serviceable but rarely surprising, with a mix of grief and revenge. Passable for fans of straightforward action revenge plots.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
