Blandly generic and transparently derivative, pic appears to have been cobbled together from bits and pieces of earlier, better thrillers.

The good news is that he infuses the potentially dry, formulaic plot with comedy. The bad news is that it’s a by-the-numbers production.

The result is an all-around competence that seems more than the sum of its parts.

The movie is a conspiracy thriller with plenty of action scenes but not much in the way of tension or excitement.
