What is it about ?
Dan Chase, an ex-CIA agent on the run for several years, discovers that an assassin is trying to eliminate him. Harold Harper, the deputy director of the FBI’s counterintelligence service, is in charge of apprehending the fugitive.
Having worked together in the past, Dan Chase and Harold Harper have always had a difficult relationship. The arrest proving more difficult than expected, Julian Carson, a formidable mercenary, also sets off in pursuit…
An exceptional face-to-face
On the one hand, Jeff Bridges (The Big Lebowski, Crazy Heart) embodies Dan Chase, and on the other John Lithgow (The Crown, Dexter) slips into the skin of the deputy director of the FBI launched after him, Harold Harper . Everything promises us an impressive duel between two great actors at the top of their game if we are to believe the first images of the trailer.
