After the failure of a mission and the loss of his military brothers, a man returns to a life he never wanted, being a lawyer. His misery spreads to his mental health and his family life. Things look bleak until a friend from his past offers him a job. The job is simple enough: protecting a disgraced journalist who has the opportunity to interview an infamous dictator who is also responsible for ruining the man's mission and killing his comrades. What is supposed to be a simple protection assignment turns into a chaotic political revolution, with a single man's moral compass swinging between revenge or doing the right thing.

An action comedy with a political twist, this John Cena flick could be a lot better. For the most part, John Cena makes easy-to-watch and entertaining movies, but this one is long and has a few scenes that drag on. The film also has quite a few terrible green screens and CGI scenes that interrupt the visual flow of the movie. There are some fun action sequences and a couple of good one-liners, and the film does take a different take on the dictator role, humanizing him instead of the cliche tyrant and oppressor. Overall, this movie can be skipped, or if you are a John Cena fan, it is worth a background stream while scrolling on your phone.
