A straightforward 1980s action thriller about a burned-out assassin drawn back into violence by ideological extremists, driven by plot momentum rather than depth.

Erstwhile C.I.A. assassin Richard Malone hopes for a tranquil retirement in the placid Pacific Northwest, but what he gets is a rumble with a right-wing extremist plotting a secret revolution.
