The 54-year-old actor was spotted in Thessaloniki, Greece on Thursday as filming continues on the action-thriller, based on the 2010 book by former FBI agent Noah Boyd.
Eckhart, who plays a former CIA agent named Steven Vail, is seen trying to destroy a scaffolding in the scene, while co-stars such as Clifton Collins Jr. were also spotted on set.

Eckhart was on set in a grey suit with a slightly-unbuttoned white dress shirt that was covered in dirt, over a grey suit coat.
He also donned matching grey pants with a black belt and black shoes, with his face and hands seen caked with dried dirt and blood.
The actor was seen wielding a large sledge hammer, which he was seen swinging to take down a scaffolding… which Clifton Collins Jr. was on, seemingly firing into a demonstration against NATO and the CIA.
