Scuba-diver turned beach-bum Jonathan Slade is forced back into his previous milieu - the world of international espionage - in order to retrieve Black Boxes from an American jetliner that crashed under mysterious circumstances into the Black Sea. With his computer-hacker younger brother, Slade travels to a resort on the Russian-Turkish border to begin his quest. To his surprise and dismay, he's now joined by another secret agent, a beautiful but highly-skilled woman named Alex. As they begin diving in search of the downed jetliner, Slade and Alex begin to suspect they're being manipulated by higher-ups who may not be committed to American interests.

Reviews

Wain_DK In the B-Movie genre, this one is a top contender. It has it all; lame plot, tough hero, comic relief, hot female sidekick etc.The fight scenes are good, seeing as how Matt McColm is a stuntman (I think). The movie doesn't make a lot of sense all the time, but as I said - It's one of the top b-movies.

Sheldon Aubut CIA, Russian, Drug Smugglers, Handsome men and beautiful women, what more could one ask in a movie. Plot maybe? Or at least one that didn't have more holes than a pound of swiss cheese. Jonathan (Matt McColm) is hired to recover the black box from a civilian aircraft shot down by the Russians. He drags along his sidekick, the computer nerd, and the attactive Alex (Amanda Pays)on an adventure where he gets to use stealth boats, lots of scuba gear, and his feet and fists and spend time lounging on beaches every time there are a few extra minutes.There were so many goofs and mistakes in the movie that if someone ever documents them in the "goofs" area they would take a day to print out.In a restaurant scene a bad guy perfectly shoots a singer in the center of the forehead from thirty feet away with a handgun on his first shot. Then he proceeds to miss everyone else until his gun is empty. The movie was full of things like that. If you watch this movie be prepared to suspend belief for the duration.

savanna-2 This may not be a bang on action flick, but the chemistry between the three leads, including the buffed Matt McColm and Amanda Pays works. Additionally, the genius brother, adds not only the needed "intelligence" but also the bits of comic relief. Not a 10, but definitely not a zero. Also found it interesting that Russia and the USA are referenced as "allies" quite a few times throughout the film. Also appreciated the time taken to study and accurately depict the major cities of the smaller, former "eastern block" countries.

Big Dave-2 This neat little spoof on action genre films has Matt McColm showing off his great bod to full effect. He is definitely some of the best eye candy to hit the screens in a long time. The plot, as usual in this type of B film, is a bit thin!! but it is only a conveyance for the star. Hope we see more of him - very soon!!!
