Shaw is an operative for the United Nations' covert dirty-tricks squad, using espionage and quasi-ethical tactics to secure peace and cooperation.

Art of War, The
Overall this is a pretty good film with Wesley Snipes playing the action man as well as always and with a decent story line ticking along to make the whole film very watchable.
