Skillful, efficient thriller which wisely avoids romantic entanglements, but its slow pace will make most viewers restless. Final Grade: B- |

Despite the good casting, a great location and an interesting story, it feels like somethings missing. There should be intrigue, but it never gets that exciting. Adequate, but nothing spectacular. |

Soft political thriller. |

Not bad, but not good enough. The subject is good, so it's the plot. Both actors do their jobs perfectly, and the suspense is well created. But something fails in the script, wich is not surprising sin Pollack is actually not a good filmmaker, so, add to that a bad script and the result will be a very soft movie. Not solid at all. |
