"Let's go down."
Art Jeffries (Bruce Willis) is a rouge FBI agent who specializes in deep undercover work. After he dresses down another agent who jumped the gun and ruined Jeffries' collar on a case he's worked on for a long time, Jeffries is called back to Chicago and put on grunt duty by his superior, Lomax (Kevin Conway). He's called in to help find Simon (Miko Hughes), a a nine-year-old autistic boy, whose parents (John Carroll Lynch, Kelley Hazen) have been murdered and he finds a much deeper plot than anyone could have expected.
It seems that young savant Simon has decoded a government encryption code which two moronic programmers (Robert Stanton, Bodhi Elfman) hid in a puzzle in a commercially sold puzzle book. When Simon calls the phone number given in the encryption, they know they'd in deep doo-doo but let their boss, Nicholas Kudrow (Alec Baldwin). Kudrow orders that the boy be found and killed to keep the code secret, thus the slaughter of Simon's parents. But the assassin (L.L. Ginter) isn't clever enough to find the boy hiding in a hidey-hole in the closet. Jeffries finds the boy, however, and begins to unravel the reason why the boy is being hunted.
The rogue and the savant go on the run with the typical Bruce Willis bravado and extraordinary action.
Others in the cast include Chi McBride as Jeffries' only FBI buddy, and Kim Dickens as the woman Jeffries recruits to help him.
Directed by Harold Becker.
Run time: 1 hour, 51 minutes
Rated R for violence and language.
My personal rating: B-
