Overview

In the long shadow of an experimental CIA mind control program, Sergeant Kellen O’Reilly begins experiencing violent flashbacks of his “treatments” at the hands of the sinister Dr. Satorius. When the body count on his latest case inexplicably begins pointing toward his own fragmented past, a romance with Satorius’ criminal prosecutor raises the stakes. O’Reilly must forge a path forward through a hall-of-mirrors conspiracy stretching from the Mafia to the highest levels of the CIA, culminating in a shocking, stadium-sized confrontation.

Viewing Notes

More VS catchup, this time a Canuxploitation political thriller starring one of my favorite character actors, Michael Ironside. Gritty and all around fun with location shots and lived-in characters (I especially liked the sex store owner and stoolie), this feels like a lesser THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR or PARALLAX VIEW.
