Action (F, UK — 2008)

Following the coercion of Ukrainian environmental official Leonid Vasilev into signing papers permitting the shipping of toxic materials into a harbour by criminal mastermind Johnson, Frank Martin is forced into accepting the job of driving Vasilev's kidnapped daughter, Valentina--acting as human collateral--from Marseilles to the Black Sea coastal city of Odessa. On the chance the Martin should attempt to flee, Johnson has rigged him with a bracelet that will detonate if he strays more than 75 feet from his car. When Valentina is intercepted by a rival group, Martin will have to push his Audi M8 to the limit to complete his mission and ensure his own survival.
