ECHELON CONSPIRACY (2009)

“Even the truth can be killed.”

Mysterious cell phone messages promise a young American engineer untold wealth — then make him the target of a deadly international plot.

Dangerous security operatives chase the engineer across the globe, while a powerful government official pursues a mysterious agenda that threatens the stability of the entire world.

Star(s) to watch : Edward Burns (”A Sound of Thunder”, “One Missed Call”, “27 Dresses”) as John Reed, Shane West (”The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”, “Dracula 2000″) as Max Peterson, Martin Sheen (”Catch Me If You Can”, “The Departed”, “Hot Shots! Part Deux”, “Spawn”) as Raymond Burke, & Ving Rhames (”Con Air”, “Mission: Impossible”, “Entrapment”) as Agent Dave Grant.

Fact : Irish-American Edward Burns has the same birthday (January 29) as ex-girlfriend Heather Graham, but 2 years older.

Note : Ving Rhames’ big break came in 1994 when director Quentin Tarantino cast him as the merciless drug dealer Marsellus Wallace in the mega hit “Pulp Fiction” (1994). Not long after, director Brian De Palma cast Rhames alongside Tom Cruise as the ace computer hacker, Luther Stickell in “Mission: Impossible” (1996). With solid performances in both these highly popular productions, his face was now well known to moviegoers, and the work offers began rolling in more frequently.
