This film has a terrific cast but it is a movie trying hard to be arty and very different . Cate Blanchett looks so different with usual hair change. I felt at parts the film was more like a play than a movie .I thought though It was very slick and also interesting at the beginning with clever dialogue but after 20 minutes my mind started to wander and then I realised I was really bored. I did persevere and watched for another 20 minutes hoping that it would grab my attention but despite the clever spy relating bells and whistles I decided to switch off and I really don't care what eventually happened and walked away disappointed .

Let's keep my review as simple as I can by keeping to the following pointers .. Very.wooden acting- totally implausible plot with so many holes in it like managing to hire a car in seconds. Nobody recognises the hotel owner! Sally Lindsey knows how to load a gun. Her Daughter manages to book a flight and arrive in record time. I could go on and on and what amazes me is how it makes the screen at all by managing to get past producers , cameramen and even the actors who surely must have some input by recognising the poor script or holes in the plot . Even the extras in it were thin on the ground .
