a few rough patches but not bad


If nothing else, it really kept the suspense throughout the film.
There are a few rough patches - a few parts where it was difficult to suspend disbelief - for example the part where she didn't part ways with the vet, even though the timing and the coincidence was all a bit too much to take in, an agent is trained to spot such oddities.

Michael Douglas leaning over in one scene was also horribly staged - him being another trained agent with decades of experience, yet making that all too common mistake akin to a stereotypical villain.

Basically, there are a lot of these inconsistencies which plague the film - but there are also some awesome scenes which lack these problems.

Still, those poorly written bits take away quite a lot from this film and prevent it from being great.

Ah, this could have been an awesome film. Anyways - I'd give it a 6.5 just for the thrill and suspense you experience throughout the film, but I am disappointed with those poorly written bits which totally missed the mark.

It was terrible ... when Michael Douglas disappeared from Noomi Rapace's sight after she escaped from the hotel room it was obvious what happened, and then when Orlando Bloom showed up out of nowhere burglarizing the flat he sent her to .... just how stupid was this woman?

Meh. I don't think those were big deals. Good movie.

Yeah, I'm jsut saying it's sad for some of us that they have to dumb movies down for others to enjoy, don't you think? ;-)

Well, they are casting a very wide net and unfortunately the majority of fish are of average or below average intelligence.
