The two are best friends, which doesn't stop Hansen from wounding Locken and murdering an Eastern European defector that they're guarding. After a lengthy and difficult rehabilitation, Locken is eager for revenge but his boss Cap Collis (Arthur Hill) is not interested, assuming that Locken is useless for anything but a desk job. He's overruled by the CEO of ComTeg, Lawrence Weyburn (Gig Young), who hears that Hansen has been assigned to kill visiting Asian dissident Yuen Chung (Mako). Locken recruits two former colleagues, Jerome Miller (Bo Hopkins) (as rear gunner) and Mac (Tom Clancy) (as wheelman). Cap however has his own agenda.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the 2011 movie Killer Elite. | |
