Im im looking for the name of a movie, from parts i remember.  
A guy is selected for training for special mission, i believe to be in south america.  
He trains in a secret or hidden underground facility in the US, and has to eat porridge everyday.  
Once in South America, he meets his female contact person to assist with the mission.  
i have a vague memory that it possibly stars Anthony Hopkins, but when i go through all of his movies, i dont see anything that pops up.
