PLOT
After a brief flashback of the Bosnian War, the film forwards to current-day Belgrade, Serbia, where former Serbian soldier Emil Kovac (John Travolta) meets his informant to retrieve a file on American military veteran and former NATO operative Colonel Benjamin Ford (Robert De Niro). Ford has fled to a cabin retreat somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, to forget the war which he fought in. Now a recluse, he meets Kovac, posing off as a European tourist, during a hunting trip. The two men strike an unlikely acquaintanceship which disappears when Kovac reveals his true identity. Intent on revenge, he initiates a gory game of cat-and-mouse with Ford. The latter is greatly injured but is quick to rebound. After a gory showdown, Kovac is overpowered by Ford. They however reach a peaceful compromise after understanding each other's predicament. Kovac quietly returns to Serbia, while Ford makes it for his grandson's baptism which he initially declined to attend.
