Celluloid Critics Consensus
What is The K2 about?
A disgraced mercenary on the run for a killing he did not commit is recruited as a bodyguard by the ruthless wife of a presidential hopeful. His real assignment turns out to be the candidate's hidden daughter, a young woman kept out of sight abroad for most of her life, and protecting her means walking straight into the campaign's blackmail files, private security armies and the buried crime that connects all of them.
