Reviews
High-class to a fault, and well-cast in every supporting role ... nevertheless burns with a very low flame.
Now we know actors are just that, but it's a little hard to suspend disbelief and buy Sean as a government agent out to foil an assassination plot, when just a few months ago he was out to assassinate Richard Nixon on screen.
The problem with all this sneaking around is that it is rarely ever all that suspenseful.
Not a great movie but a nice time and a welcome break from the season's nonstop torrent of interchangeable horror films and Ashton Kutcher comedies.
a film that made their authors feel good, while denying the same experience to the audience
The complicated plotting gets increasingly ridiculous as the picture nears conclusion.
(...) Una película menor, con buenas intenciones pero que se olvida poco después de salir del cine.
Another international accent from Kidman, another brooding, broken man from Penn, and another taut, tense, political thriller from director Pollack.
Succeeds because it focuses on a lost art of cinema: Character development.
A political thriller afraid of politics and bereft of thrills.
effectively merges important political issues with mass-market entertainment without canceling each other out
