Although not bad, not brilliant

Rating: 6/10 (6 March 2008)

I did like this film and although you feel their are twists of such, it doesn't ever really push the boundaries of something original nor ground breaking, I also feel the director works with some amazing shots and then instantly to an underwhelming shot that kills the flow.
I was expecting a much more in depth character and even though you know what he is trying to do and why he wants certain things, it all feels like you knew how it was going to go and from that I'm glad I got the DVD rather than went to the cinema. There are a lot of films regarding the US government, tricks they play on each other, the lies within and so on.
I think the problem is you know everyone will be against everyone and not to trust - or to trust - all the characters and because of that there isn't much depth and certain obvious scenes kills what could have been a lot lot better.
