Can't sleep? Watch this...you'll be asleep in 30 min


By the time you get to the interesting "reveal" part of this movie you have either:

A. Lost interest
B. Fell asleep
C. Lost interest then fell asleep
D. Went to go make a sandwich and forgot the movie was still running

The pace is incredibly slow and awkward.
Much preferred Taken over this, if you're comparing spy movies.
Only 2 things that really made this movie even remotely watchable was Jones and Kruger.

Funny, because I think almost the opposite - that the film was quite interesting up to the reveal, at which point it goes off the rails and all credibility is destroyed. Opinions :)

I couldn't disagree more. Not because I loved the movie, but because I hate suspense, and am very sensitive to adrenaline, and this had my heart pumping almost from the get-go. No way could I sleep until it was resolved!

This is NOT to say that people who love suspense movies will love this. I also freak out during scenes when someone is looking through someone's desk and I'm afraid they're going to get caught, so... 
