A
US Senator with business ties to Russia is mysteriously murdered. The manner of his death resembles the
method used by a thought to be dead Russian assassin. To try to solve this case, a retired CIA operative is teamed
with a young FBI agent. Paul
Shepherdson spent a lot of his career chasing down Cassius. This is a code name and they don’t know
his real name. Ben Geary has
studied Cassius and written a Master’s thesis about the killer.
There
are two disclosures in this film, the first one happens in less than an hour
into the film. I was surprised at
the reveal and also the short about of time into the movie. The main focus is the young FBI agent
versus the seasoned CIA operative.
Which one knows the truth?
