This was a solid action and suspense film starring Adam 'Edge' Copeland as Lucas Nolan, a skilled federal interrogator and all-around dare-devil law enforcement officer.
The film weaves an intriguing story of a terrorist who has laid plans to cripple the city of Minneapolis without taking lives. Lucas interrogates the perp using his unique "memory house" to read the suspect's mind through tiny clues. As a "behavioral analyst," Lucas is tops, but his overly assertive tactics lead to him lose favor with his colleagues.
The major lapse in the film was the notion of taking the arrested terrorist around the city of Minneapolis in order to pry information out of him about the next attack. The perp, whose name is Vasti, enjoys himself as the ebb-and-flow of the action reveals his diabolical mind. This pattern stretched credibility.
One of the most interesting portions of the film was the background provided on the upbringing of both Lucas and Vasti. Those details will figure prominently in a plot twist at the end. There were also some sly moments of humor in the film, such as the critical moment when the computer expert is asked a question to prevent an explosion in the Federal Reserve Bank, and she replies, "I can't do anything! I'm on hold!"
The film was worth watching for the take-character character of Lucas and his apparent bonding with Vasti. There was good film footage of Minneapolis with a shot of the old Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. The pacing of the film was brisk and it was non-stop action along with an intriguing psychological drama.
