A beautifully photographed thriller with the ever steady Clive Owen. Unfortunately, it's ultimately forgettable.
Aiming to present a modern take on the old-school type thriller (think The Conversation, Flight of the Concord etc) with a little bit of Bourne added in, this varied paced thriller-chase movie just doesn't make the grade in any area.
Not a bad film, just one which fails to reach its actual potential. A good modern example of what I think the producers were aiming for is Casino Royale. Much better.
Clive Owen is a growing legend, always putting in a solid and interesting performance, but if he doesn't make it into a 'good' film in the next couple of years, I'll be very disappointed!
