Unforgivingly Confusing

Rating: 2/10 (15 April 2012)

I like a variety of film genres, including spy films, but this one just stole over two hours of my time that I can never get back. The transitions between the "present" and flashbacks" were not in any way delineated, so the viewer is left off-balance throughout. This is an acceptable tool to use in the beginning of a movie, but there has to be a point at which you allow the viewer to gain some equilibrium. That just never happens in this film.
The characters are never developed properly, so the viewer doesn't really care about any of them. There is so much sitting around and excessive smoking, that one remembers little else.
Skip this one and spend your time and money on almost any other spy movie out there.
