ActionAdventureCrimeDramaMysteryThriller99 min
Chicago detective Nico Toscani is a former CIA operative and aikido specialist whose seizure of military explosives from a narcotics dealer opens onto a wider conspiracy tied to corruption, covert operations, and his time in Vietnam. Steven Seagal is Nico, an unorthodox cop who moves through the city’s underworld with martial-arts precision and little patience for procedure. The investigation reaches from Chicago streets to protected political circles and the intelligence world he thought he’d left behind.
