Good movie. It's somewhere between a drama and a low action flick. Good script. Good execution. A cerebral movie that would have done better if it was released in the 70's. Nothing earth shattering but suspenseful (international intrigue is probably a better description) and a good popcorn flick. I thought it was better than Clive's other cerebral flick - Children of Men.

Not many folks in the theatre. The screen next door had many more people exiting, mostly kids, watching Friday the 13th. Unfortunately, I think this good flick will fade quickly and go straight to rental/DVD/Blu-ray.

Check it out but you must pay attention to the dialogue. If you're looking for escapism, look elsewhere.

    I like the movie, but I think it has pacing problems. That said, I do own it on Blu-ray... and it's worth having just for the Guggenheim shootout. It's also one of the best looking transfers on Blu-ray, despite what LoMarloweco said in his review. Absolutely stunning video quality.

    It's an interesting movie albeit an average one.

    I did like it though and have it on SD DVD.

    Rating = 5.8/10

    YMMV
