During this time, in Kenya, Banir sends his man Aasim to Bucharest to find out why Abdi has not delivered the medicine. Later, Lake has a violent outburst during a search and resigns on the spot. However, they still believe he's dead, and refuse. He tells Lake, who asks his superiors to go after Banir. Since thalassemia is hereditary, Milt concludes that Banir is ordering shipments of the drug through a middleman, Dr. The drugs are for an anonymous Kenyan client, and are coming from a University of Bucharest clinic run by Professor Dr.
Milt gets a hit on large quantities of an experimental drug treating thalassemia, information corroborated in the USB data. The Romanian Intelligence Service retrieve the drive and the body, but the data is corrupted, so it is subsequently sent to the CIA. A car chase ensues, and rather than giving himself up, the courier throws himself and the drive off a bridge. In Bucharest, police tail a Kenyan national, Abdi, carrying a mysterious USB drive.
As a result of the trauma he sustained under torture, Lake is now suffering from early stage frontotemporal dementia, and his boss considers him a liability to the agency. During the extraction and ensuing explosion, Banir went missing and was presumed dead, although Lake never believed it and has obsessively tried to find Banir ever since. Twenty-two years ago during an op in Africa, Lake was captured by terrorist Muhammad Banir (Alexander Karim) and tortured by having his head repeatedly bashed and having his ear mutilated.
Plot Įvan Lake ( Nicolas Cage) is a highly decorated veteran CIA agent and Intelligence Star recipient reduced to a desk job at Langley with his protege and close friend Milton "Milt" Schultz ( Anton Yelchin). The film received extremely negative reviews, with controversy surrounding the heavy tampering and reediting of the footage by the studio, who denied Schrader final-cut privilege and led him and principal members of the cast to disown the released version and campaign against it. It was released theatrically and through VOD formats by Lionsgate on December 5, 2014. Dying of the Light is a 2014 American psychological thriller film written and directed by Paul Schrader and starring Nicolas Cage, Anton Yelchin and Irène Jacob about a government agent who must track down and kill a terrorist before he loses his full memory from dementia.
