'Ultimate Force' is a 2005 action film written and directed by Mark Burson. The film stars kickboxing/MMA superstar Mirko Filipovi as a tough war veteran. The film was released theatrically in Croatia and directly to video in the United States and most parts of the world.

Plot



Agent Axon Rey (Filipovi), a decorated war hero and former police officer is recruited by a secret government organization and trained to become "Sphinx", an assassin working for an anti-terrorist organization, undertaking missions where failure means death. After failing to execute one of his targets, his life is spared, however, and his supervisor, Janus (Galo), instead sends him to "Gulag 7", a rehabilitation island. Sphinx is forced to face five other government operatives in a battle of life and death. After defeating them, in a jail cell he finds Nina (Maarevi), his former lover, whose death was faked by the Director (Smiljani). Together they have to team up with Janus to assassinate the Director.
