About
You’ll like this thriller if you enjoy conspiracy-fueled tension and a mix of action and suspense with a romantic thread; Not for you if you want a consistent tone or expect serious, fully credible plotting like The Siege or Arlington Road.
Pros: entertaining suspense; strong leading performances; fun action pace | Cons: uneven tone; sometimes silly acting; plot feels unremarkable
