nick s The acting was fairly good. As a spy thriller the movie was overwrought and a bit of a plausibility stretch. It floundered near the end as the writers threw in a last minute plot twist. There was a lot of voiceover too, which made for less submersive viewing. Production quality was good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
