Liam Neeson (Taken) and Oscar® winner* Frances McDormand (Fargo) star in this explosive, action-packed thriller from director Sam Raimi (the Spider-Man trilogy). When the laboratory of Dr. Peyton Westlake (Neeson) is blown up by gangsters, he is burned beyond recognition. Altered by an experimental medical procedure, he assumes alternate identities in his quest for revenge. Colin Friels (Dark City), Larry Drake (Dr. Giggles), Danny Hicks (Evil Dead 2), and Nicholas Worth (Swamp Thing) also star.

Produced on a $14 million budget the film would gross just over $48 million at the global box office. Comics, novels, action figures, and even a video game were created to tie-in to the film which eventually earned two direct-to-video sequels with actor Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy) in the title role.
