This is really a love story between CIA agent Jack Carver and a nurse named Kate. Their affair begins out of Kate's friendship with a person of interest to the CIA--Peter Husak. CIA thinks Kate is useful and thus Jack is meant to get intimate with her to get any secrets about Peter, whom she used to have a romantic relationship. She full heartedly falls in love with Jack. When Jack's identity is revealed, they split apart. She runs off with Peter to some afghan/Arab place where he runs a clinic. Jack, in the meantime, hates what he's done to Kate as he discovers he truly loves her. When the KGB get involved with Peter and his clinic, things get serious. Kate's just had a baby, and Peter is secretly coerced to helping the KGB thwart the efforts of a rebellion against Moscow power control over the area. The rebels are the very people Kate & Peter have befriended, so betrayal goes deep. There's a person of interest the KGB are trying to kidnap--this is where the CIA get involved again. They try to recruit Jack, who has tried to forget his CIA life. Having a chance to see Kate, however, he accepts the assignment.
This is where a lot of the fun begins! Jack uses his CIA know-how to thwart the KGB mercenaries from bombing a convoy, taking medical supplies and food (and guns)to the rebels in the remote villages. He's planting bombs, running through gun-fire, and getting shot in the arse, adding a bit of humor and humanity to our 'Bond-like hero'.
Jack is able to rekindle his affair with Kate, save his 'charge' (Omar Shariff) from getting captured, & win the fight against the KGB & mercenaries--all in a few days work!
Dalton and Helgenberger create a delightful chemistry; He still knows how to bring the action and the romance. And, Dalton even has a few touching moments with the little baby, Hope.
Great Movie, especially for Dalton fans.
