Not just your every-day retired super-agent

Rating: 6/10 (16 January 2010)

An improbable story of a retired American stealth super agent who reluctantly agrees to let his 17 year-old daughter go off to Europe with her best friend. However, no sooner do the two girls land in Paris then they are snatched by a sinister gang of thugs.
Fortunately, just before the abduction, the daughter was on her cell phone to her father who was subsequently able to glean a number of clues about the perpetrators from the call and the cell phone he is able to recover on his arrival in Paris. Our hero wastes no time in tracking down a series of villains many of who are of Albanian origin and operate a scheme to dupe innocent young girls into drugs and prostitution.
As ruthless as the Albanians and assorted other criminals are, they do not possess very good marksmanship and are ultimately no match for the cadre of skill and determination displayed by the abducted girl's vigilante father. For instance, the English-speaking American agent is easily able to pass for a French detective in a ruse to help ferret out some of the gang-member's crime operations. Some 40 odd evil-doers are terminally dispatched in this action adventure while the hero and daughter are happily reunited in the end with nary a scratch.
Good entertainment value if you don't over analyze the storyline.
