A young Catholic priest, Luke Kovak, doing good works in his parish has his life turned upside down when his past as an assassin catches up with him. After a previous operation had gone bad he sought sanctuary with the church but he kept a piece of evidence from that operation which his former unit now wants. There are a lot of flashbacks in the film but the narrative is clear and on the whole it is a decent enough film.
The priest is played by Mark Dacascos and he does it very well, not only in the action scenes where he is so proficient but also in the emotional scenes. You get a good sense of how scarred his character is and the mounting despair he has when falling back into his more violent ways. It always puzzled me how Mr Dacascos never became a bigger action and martial art star. He had all the necessary attributes in martial art and acting skills and was very likeable and watchable.
The very last scene is a lovely ironic twist in the tail of the tale.
