Story Line;
Levon Cade has left his profession behind him to go 'straight' and work in construction. He wants to live a simple life and be a good father to his daughter. But when his boss's teenage daughter Jenny vanishes, he's called upon to re-employ the skills that made him a legendary figure in the shadowy world of black ops. His hunt for the missing college student takes him deep into the heart of a sinister criminal conspiracy creating a chain reaction that will threaten his new way of life
Thoughts:
This looked pretty good. It was, just longer than it needed to be, but that seems to be the general movies lately.
This was similar to the Beekeeper and that seems to be the theme with Jason Staham movies. He is getting older and there have been a few movies that were different but it's defiantly a type cast.
CAUTION; Spoiler Alert
Levon Cade, an ex-Royal Marine Commando, works as a construction foreman in Chicago and is close with the Garcia family that runs the company. When the family's teenage daughter Jenny is kidnapped by Russian traffickers, Levon takes matters into his own hands to bring her back home.
The organization is run by the Bratva, led by Symon Kharchenko. When Levon kills high-ranking Captain Wolo Kolisnyk, Symon sends his sons Danya and Vanko after Levon. Levon infiltrates the organization by pretending to be a dealer to get close to Wolo's son Dimi, who runs the trafficking part of the organization. Jenny's captors Viper and Artemis try to sell her to a client, but Jenny bites the man's cheek off and is ordered to be killed until the client changes his mind and wants to try again with her.
Meanwhile, Levon gets caught by Danya and Vanko, but Levon kills them. Levon brings his daughter Merry to stay with his fellow ex-soldier Gunny after the thugs learn about his identity. Levon finds Dimi and gets him to lead him to the compound where Jenny is being kept. Levon kills Dimi and proceeds to mow down every last criminal in his path, including a biker gang and their leader. Levon finds Jenny, where he kills the client and Viper, while Jenny kills Artemis. Levon kills the last few goons before escaping with Jenny. Symon is told by his brother to leave Levon alone and that nobody in the organization is going to help him in his crusade for vengeance.
Levon reunites Jenny with her family and returns home to have dinner with Merry and Gunny.
