Storyline:
A group of armed individuals has taken control of the German National Opera and is demanding an exorbitant ransom of three hundred million. Tragically, they shoot one of the hostages, prompting Matteo to disregard orders and retaliate. Although his actions lead to the liberation of the remaining hostages, it come at the cost of his dear friend John’s life. Devastated, Matteo retreats from the chaos and finds solace working at a sawmill in Romania. Meanwhile, in Amsterdam, Shira and her dedicated INTERPOL team successfully intercept a large drug shipment, angering Gabriel Saban, the powerful mob boss responsible for the illicit operation. Upon Matteo’s return to Amsterdam, he learns about the kidnapping of his late friend’s daughter by the local crime syndicate led by Gabriel. Fueled by grief and a burning desire to rescue the innocent girl, Matteo embarks on a dangerous mission, engaging in a one-man battle on the streets and canals of the city. Amidst exploding ordnance, flying bullets, and dramatic car collisions, Matteo relentlessly pursues his singular objective: to save the kidnapped daughter and bring down Gabriel’s criminal empire.—Frank Liesenborgs
