Welcome to the golden age of America as Outlaw State, as depicted in international action cinema.

“Exterritorial” has Americans as treasonous allies, corrupt drug smugglers and heartless bureaucrats — kidnapping children and Belarussian refugees, selling “intel” to common enemies and working overtime to silence the German woman led into their trap, all characters wearing the uniforms and saluting and/or working for the “interests” of the old red, white and blue.

Writer-director Christian Zübert (“Tour de Force” was his) reads the realpolitik zeitgeist and only pulls his punches at the end of this solid but formulaic action pic built around a German single mother with “special skills.”

Jeanne Goursaud graduated from Eastwood’s “The 15:17 to Paris” and the German combat mini-series set in “Kabul” to play Sara, an Afghan combat veteran with PTSD issues and a little boy whose American GI father died while they were deployed together in Afghanistan.

Six year-old Josh (Rickson Guy da Silva) never knew his African-American father. But he’s got dual citizenship. When a security company job prospect is dangled in front of “ex-Special Forces”” Sara, she jumps at the chance to apply for an H-1 visa at the consulate in Frankfort.

Scroll through a few international news headlines to guess how that goes.

But blonde, beautiful and brawny Sara never even gets to the interview. Josh goes missing from an embassy playroom, and Sara “causes a disturbance” trying to get consolate officials and even the German police to help find him.

Might this be another triggered moment for Sara, whose combat flashbacks give us a taste of what she survived in Afghanistan? Is Josh real, or imagined? The CCTV video in the consulate makes even her wonder.

But Sara’s combat-wary eyes picked-up on some sketchy characters and possibly sketchy behavior. Next thing we know, she climbs out a window and begins parkouring her way through the vast complex — picking locks, smashing cameras, busting heads, frantic to find her kid.

Sara smashes in on a “guest quarters” Russian-speaker (Lera Abova) who claims to be a hostage there, trapped in limbo because of U.S. doubts about her refugee status and perhaps Russian pressure on the Russian-friendly U.S. administration. But Irina, or Kira as we come to know her to be just brings up “how crazy” this all sounds and “Why would anyone want to kidnap your son?”

I mean, the kid’s half-black. It’s not like the U.S. is welcoming anybody who doesn’t look like Sara these days.

There are villains and disparate schemes and we and Sara fear we can’t trust any guard (Kayode Akinyemi) security chief (Dougray Scott) or consul general (Annabelle Mandeng) drawing an American government paycheck.

The fights are furious, and any time Sara puts her hair up, we know there’s another one coming. Goursaud is credible in the fights, and the even more fashion runway-ready Abova (“Anna”) isn’t. So naturally she’s the one with mad computer hacking skills.

They click well enough as an action duo that you wish they had more scenes together.

The scripted schemes don’t unravel easily, until the “talking villain” finale reveals all.

That makes “Exterritorial” more “solid than surprising, and even that “solid” footing grows more slippery with each implausible escape or too-convenient plot twist.

Why DO they keep leaving our Teutonic tyro ALONE in a room?

But if you’re an American watching international thrillers on Netflix, here’s a taste of what the future looks like — German villains are passe, and even Russian and Arabic ones may become rarer. Americans in and out of uniform, are the bad guys. The harder sell in such movies may be the concept that people still want to emigrate here.
