Delivers.

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2010)

While this film has the tried and true essentials of it's forefathers, it nonetheless sets out to achieve in it's thrilling action and rapid-fire pace. There's a lot to like in this film with it's lead star giving a good performance with everyone on board and the story will keep you engaged throughout the running time. So far I like this. The only gripe that I have is that the film didn't fully explore the protagonist's inner psyche. There are some flashbacks that tell flesh out the character, but a little bit more would've been nice in addition to more exposition surrounding her character. Also, I felt the film should've been longer. The notion of a female spy is an exciting and intriguing idea;having seen so many spy movies with mostly male heroes, this one mixes things up differently. The ending leaves open the possibility of a sequel and I for one can't wait to see what they come up with next. It's not as cerebral as the Bourne films, but it will entertain you for an hour and a half.
