    It was a predictable storyline. Boring. Character development was lacking. Reminded me of Salt.
  • despite some ratings and critics….

    this is a good movie - the right stuff for a classical spy genre movie. if you look for big bang unrealistic actions scenes go somewhere else.

    Only in Hollywod can they take famous actors (Gere and Sheen) put them into paper thin characters with ridiculously implausible plot lines and still con people like me to pay for it. They should have paid me for the waste of my time. From the beginning the very music is as weak and predictible as the direction of the story line, with Gere a brooding, seemingly highly respected former agent who we quickly discover is really hiding in "plain sight". Even if you lay aside the fact that he is obviously the bad guy and even the janitors at the CIA could have known it, you are still left with the higly scripted acting in all the scenes where the "top brass" meet to discuss this killer. Once we get out in the field you spend much of the movie in uncomfortable embarrasment for the younger agent who misses the glaringly obvious fact that he is working with the man he pursues. Constantly the script employs nun to subtle hints which our young agent dutifully ponders and just when you think the light will come on shakes his head as if the Harvard Masters Program didn't prepare him for these difficult propositions. WOW. It starts out with the viewer hoping against reason that there will be some trully interesting twist but then much like a loud mouth friend who gives then ending away the actors themselves ruin the movie in doing their best this-is -what-secret-agents-look-like-when-they-pretend-to-be-actors impersonation. Maybe the real plot is the just that- actors pretending to be agents pretending to be actors. Now thats a reverse phsycology plot twist that you never saw coming. But you did have to pay $5 to rent. PS we won't even mention the fact that FBI allows a highly trained agent wounded in the line of duty to walk off the scene get in the car and drive home with a fake limp...
