From the very start, this spy thriller
worked briskly and kept us on our toes. Intrigue eventually ripened
into tension and together they made this film work, and splendidly at
that. Character interactions also kept things rolling with two
riveting relationships governing the entire plot. And while the
conclusion did feel overly contrived, the bottom line was that this
film satisfied.
Just a few extras here including, a fascinating featurette on CIA
training, four marginal deleted scenes with optional explanations, and
a fairly informative commentary track with director Roger Donaldson
and actor Colin Farrell.
Despite a lack of conventional action, this entire ride was tremendous
fun.
