This movie is like a study of Bond and Bourne: “The Bourne Identity (TV Miniseries) (1988)”, an action movie. Toss in the innocent enthusiasm as in “If Looks Could Kill” (1991). There are gadgets, women, plots, and subplots. But this movie is mostly about action. This is not one of those thinking movies or really a talkie. It does hold your attention.
Xander Cage is an innocent dissident minding his own business. The business being stealing the governor’s car and displaying reckless abandon, all in the cause of freedom. He is pressed into service à la “Remo Williams - The Adventure Begins” (1985) in place of a prison sentence. It seems that the NSA needs someone of his reputation and abilities for a short time. Will he comply, and if so, for how short a time? Will he quit when he is told to do so? And is there a love interest or just one of those "spy vs. spy" things?
