Act of War (1998)
Not a poor man's James Bond, a poor man's Die Hard

It looks like they took Die Hard and moved it to an ex-soviet republic. It must have taken the writers a day to watch Die HArd and copy down the storyline and then another day to take the transpose the storyline and set it in another country.
Instead of fake terrorists robbing the safe, you have a fake coup to rob the treasury; one of the co-workers selling out Bonnie Bedelia here you have an embassy employee making the same deal. etc. Even the hero appearing in an undershirt at the end.
The stereotyping of the characters - the taxi driver who had cousins who could do anything was horrible, the villain you could tell by his goatee and the Soviet politician who drinks too much - is worthy of a movie from the cold war era.
