***SPOILER*** After a 10 year search where he faked his death and left his family former Navy Seal Lazarus Fell, Travis Fimmel, has finally got the person who eluded him as well as the free world all these years the #1 terrorist in the world. No it's not Osama Bin-Laden but someone nameless who's at least 20 years younger and speaks perfect English played by actor Michael Desante!

Holding Terrorist #1 hostage in this underground Vienna train station Lazarus gives him the business in how evil he is in being responsible for among other things the attacks on 9/11 that killed over 3,000 American citizens. It's when the totally unafraid of death and torture terrorist counterbalances Lazarus claims about him and his Al-Qeada terrorist organization that he suddenly starts to get second thought! Not just about what happened on 9/11 and who was behind it but everything that he's been thought in school as well as by his late Naval officer dad Solomon Fell, Peter Fonda, as being nothing but outright lies.

Despite being considered fiction the movie brings out a number of very disturbing events that shock those of us watching it. And it's the captured terrorist who brings those events out so clearly and convincingly that he not only changes Lazarus's mind in killing him but in fact ends up strongly agreeing with him instead! The facts that the terrorist brings out in the open are so,or seem to be, factual that even us watching have trouble in disbelieving them.

****SPOILERS**** The real kicker in the movie is Lazarus's dad Solomon Fell who in fact turned out to have survived the 9/11 attacks and pops up almost out of nowhere in the underground train station where his son & #1 Terrorist are staying. It's then that Solomon Fell lets out the truth of what's really going on in the world and why no one in power is willing or able to stop it. A truth so shocking as well as thought provoking that leaves you as well as by now the totally emotionally destroyed Lazarus wishing that you never heard it.
