This comes as a cheering news for fans of Lima Neeson who keeps defying age via his roles. Neeson plays Travis block in this one hour 48 minutes thriller.

When he discovers a plot targeting U.S citizens, Block finds himself in the crosshairs of the FBI director, his friend and superior that once saved his illustrious career. Other actors are Aidan Quinn, Andrew Shaw, Claire van der Boom, Emmy RaverLampman, Gabriella Sengos, Taylor John Smith, Yael Stone and Zac Lemons. The movie was directed by Mark Williams and started showing across Nigerian cinemas yesterday.
