The board of directors at Winch’s conglomerate — led by reliable and unflappable executive Ann Ferguson (Kristin Scott Thomas) — acts quickly to establish a successor to Nerio Winch.
But the clever Winch, knowing this day would eventually come, has a secret: an adoptive son named Largo who inherits the controlling interest of the company.
In flashbacks, we see how Nerio Winch picked a baby out of a Bosnian orphanage, named him Largo (after 007’s villain in “Thunderball”?) and educated him in finance and the arts before the lad rebelled and took off to become an international man of mystery.
Largo (played with catlike physicality by Tomer Sisley) also inexplicably picks up the skills of Jackie Chan and Jean-Claude Van Damme as he takes on thugs, cops and soldiers who get in his way.
A hot call girl named Lea (Melanie Thierry) also gets in his way, and we can never be sure where her loyalties lie.
