Worth seeing for Frida Farrell and locations

Apparently made for only half a million, the movie made money and won awards. Now showing periodically on the Showtime network.

I tend to agree with the more positive of the reviews here. The CIA Washington end of the film was a stretch, to say the least, but the Trinidad scenes are fast and furious and they work fine with few special effects.

Frida Farrell - the reason why I began watching as I clicked around - was really well cast, taut, great looking, smart and decisive. She seems to have been very busy on other projects since.

Australian actor Rhett Giles was also terrific, as the CIA hit man relentlessly following her and trying to take her down.

Agree, this movie doesn't totally suck... but it could have been much better with just a little more effort.

An improvement might have been for Frida take her shirt off once in awhile or maybe show her in underwear. The scenes where the CIA tracks cell phone and local police surround a house in middle of a jungle, all within 5 seconds, could have been presented with say, a "slight" delay (even though it's impossible anyway -- 10 years they still can't find Osama Bin Ladin)

I thought she was very good looking in particular her eyes. the story was not bad and the action was low grade but passable. She had just lost her husband and slept with a guy she met only days if not hours after his death witch was odd considering how the film made us believe she love him very much. The two bad guys were both great.

I agree, not bad at all considering the budget. It would make a good tv movie.

Yeah I agree Frida Farrell is very beautiful and wonderful but the movie was not very good
