Knowing the twist within about 30(?) minutes sort of ruined the movie.

I actually figured it out during the opening credits. I noticed (but, of course, didn't realize until a few minute into the film) that in the opening credits the only 2 actors whose names are displayed with a reverse "R" (although most of the actors actually have an R in their name!) indicating a Cyrillic Russian letter, are Richard Gere and Topher Grace. Also, Grace's name is animated and formed out of Gere's name. That was a visual connection that stayed with me as the characters unfurled. I was sure their was a Russian connection with Grace's character, too! I thought that was really creative. I had a professor once who told the class that most Hollywood movies could be figured out in during the credits and the next 20 mins. I have found that to be sadly true for most films, indeed. But, I do actually like it when then a director gives it away so stealthily that so few notice :)
