The prison is seized by former C.I.A. operative turned terrorist for hire Jonah Merrick, who plans to hack the C.I.A. mainframe to download their most secret files to sell on the open market. As Merrick's team of deadly killers overtake the facility Teller can break free and link up with the last remaining staff member--the most junior agent in the facility--Anne Bracket.

All Accolades & Coverage

While this story is clearly influenced by movies like the Bourne and Mission Impossible films, making it somewhat predictable, it has an interesting location and entertaining action sequences. Teller is a familiar antihero protagonist, but he’s got more depth than other action heroes.Teller doesn’t have the best morals, but in the end he always tries to do what’s right. It can be a tough character to get right. Both Bracket and Hardy are great characters. They are two complex women who have their own drive and ambitions and are not dependant on Teller. It’s particularly nice to see the straightforward mentor-mentee relationship between Teller and Bracket, and how there are no hints at romance. Hardy has many layers, and her complicated relationship with Teller makes the confrontation at her house more compelling.
