Plot:
In the U.S. government's special-ops, Scott is a shooter, not a planner, doing the job with no regard to quaint or obsolete convention. When a Harvard undergrad (daughter of a U.S. leader) goes missing, Scott applies the pressure, first to her boyfriend, then to a madam whose cathouse is the initial stop en route to a white-slavery auction in Dubai. The abductors may not know the girl's identity, but once they figure it out, she's doomed. Deadly double-crosses force Scott to become a planner. Through it all, earnest TV newscasters read the drivel they're handed.
