Watching this is ike watching grass grow. You know something is about to happen but then nothing! I was confused about Echhart's role. Is he the chief ot the staion? Is that the CIA station? If his wife was an operative, how then can he not know what her activities were? It is a shame to cast a strong character like Eckhart in a role that is almost reliant on a computer screen. So, if you have insomnia, this is a good movie to turn on. It worked for me and I had a good nap. Unfortunately, when I woke up, it was still meandering through it plotless plotline. It took a great effort on my part just to reach for the remote to turn it off!

An interesting plot but miscast of characters really killed off the enjoyment of the movie. Instead, it became a plodding downright dull movie where you feel like physically getting out of your comfy chair to give the plotline a good shove. Jason Momoa is no comedian and he proved it here. His character should have carried the whole story with humour and adventurous excitement but not here. He is dressed up like Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow without the spark or brilliance. Only difference is the horns on his head? What's that supposed to indicate? Furthermore, the kid needs to be cute. She wasn't here but throughout the movie, she was just an obnoxious little selfish girl. Her attitude did not endear her to me, nor did it evoke any sympathy on my part. The rest of the movie was okay but we've all seen it before in Harry Potter, Narnia and Alice in Wonderland. Nothing new here. If Dwayne Johnson was to play the part of Flip it might have turned out different. He's such a good comedian.
