You know, putting one man's brain into a lesser man's cranium. This time Ryan Reynolds (CIA Black Ops-London) falls in the line of duty trying to buy off a world class digit head who has cracked our military security. The only way to find the "Dutchman" is to keep "Billy" on ice until Tommy Lee can find a first-time human trial. That would be total psychopath, Jericho (Kevin Costner). The drama plays out in London as the transmutation appears to have failed . . or did it? Billy's memories start to slowly reveal themselves to Jericho which puts him on the run from the CIA, a psychopathic Spanish anarchists, and the Russians. Gal Gadot finally warms up Jericho to help him as much as she can.

Action, action, action. That's what we knuck-draggers live for, oui? Costner is released from an American prison into the hands of Tommy Lee Jones who has been working on brain swaps for fifteen years. Jericho is very much a Hannibal Lecter or with no manners or education.

Great cinematography, locales, etc. Good story, good script. For a purely entertainment vehicle I would have to give it 95. All the star power and reworking of the story line combine for a good popcorn of a time. Worth a walk in.
