I don't get it

I think you're right. Maybe the ambassador thought that those who would be incriminated by the "Silent Partner" video would find a way to hack into Patrick's computer and steal the file before Patrick had a chance to open and secure it, so he beat them to the punch and stole it first. He sent the message to Patrick to let Patrick know that the file was in "safe" hands, and in hands that would release it if necessary. Sort of like an "insurance policy." The ending also could have been written as it was to set up a possible sequel.

All in all I thought it was a very entertaining film. Lots of action, plenty of suspense, some surprises, and for once in a movie that was supposed to be of serious nature, it didn't throw in a random effort at comedy in case the seriousness wasn't working, just to keep viewers interested.

My only slight negativity of the movie, was the way Nick Moran seemed to enunciate every syllable. It was like he was talking the entire time to someone who didn't understand English, so he made sure he talked as slow and as clearly as he could. Other than that, I thought it was a well done movie.

It was nice to see Tara in a more serious role, although I would still like to see her have more of a "lead" role, or be the lead character in a film. It was easy to see that she was the most "experienced" of the actors in the film, and I think she's paid enough dues to garner the chance to be the Lead Character in a serious film.
