Contacting the site to learn more only results in Nathan becoming the target of an intense, high-tech, international manhunt.

Storyline - in my experience I found this movie to be entertaining I am not sure why IMDB has given this movie a 5 out of 10 I am not sure of that at all but the storyline to this movie great, I was entertained throughout the movie and I respect Taylor Lautner as an actor, I found throughout the storyline I was asking questions like what is going to happen next and this is really interesting more and more as I watch it, that is how a mystery thriller should work making you ask questions like what is going to happen next? Something good? Something bad? Both? I’d suggest you to watch this movie to see what I am talking about.

Editing - this movie is well edited, the storyline made sense, the visuals were good, the lighting is great and the sound affects for the guns and the explosions were convincing.
