Saw an early version of this and must admit was pretty boring. I had high hopes from trailers and Cuba being in the lead role, but after 40 mins of almost walking out on it i managed to stick it to the end,then wish i had followed my instincts and actually had walked out on it when it finally had ended.
The acting is OK,the plot had potential, but the end result was just a tedious waste of space that i cannot really recommend even to die hard fans of Cuba Gooding Jr.
I would like to say that with a few tweaks in the plot it still maybe watchable, but it needs a major plot change to even be that good, so am not hopeful at all and have given it a generous rating of 3

Boring
They took everything from him.
Cuba Gooding Jr., where in the hell is your career going? Cuba plays David Wolfe, a paramilitary operative sent to the Middle East on a covert assignment to assassinate a ruthless terrorist, the Ace of Spades(Vernel Bagneris). While on the mission Wolfe begins to figure out that maybe he himself may be a target of his own government. He will have to use all of his assassin skills to survive a conspiracy that involves several high levels of the US government.
This movie is hard to follow because of the flashback method of telling the story. Plus there seems to be a missing part of a puzzle to be found nowhere. Also in the cast: JK. Simmons, Jaclyn DeSartis, Brad C. Carter and Clarence Williams.
Cuba Gooding is better than his material
Cuba Gooding Jr proves he's an under used actor in a a well acted confused tale of a government conspiracy concerning the Iraq war and the war on terror.
Well made on a low budget this is a movie where I didn't care about the plot so much as I did about the characters. High points for Gooding and the never bad Clarence Williams who make this nonsense watchable. I wish I knew why these two didn't get bigger and better roles in more mainstream movies.(Hey and its nice to see an Oscar winner continue to prove he's a great actor and that the award wasn't a fluke-ala Mira Sorvino)
