CONSENT TO KILL

It is post 9/11, and the focus of the CIA is terrorism. Agent Mitch Rapp is on a secret assignment to kill terrorists and to thwart attacks on the U.S. When a Saudi Arabian hires contract killers to assassinate him, this nonstop thriller takes off. George Guidall's performance is excellent, preferring, for the most part, to let the story itself pack its emotional punch rather than projecting an overly dramatic tone. However, when called for, he reads with feeling. Most of the voices are credible, though the German accent sounds Arabic, and the British accent is weak.
