Dave Kehr User Reviews Current avg. It is not a complicated movie and does not need highbrow to understand it. It just needs a more literate mind. These things vitually extinct in today's Hollywood filmmaking. The film succeeds as a good satire on politics and human folly.
All characters are dark, evil, devious, or calculated human beings.
However, this may arouse unpleasantness to some. It is also hardly a thriller, so the studio marketing it as a thriller gives wrong expectation. Acting is excellent especially Brosnan. He is as enjoyable to watch as Robert De Niro and can join the talented actors list. However, as he is playing against type to its extreme, it creates a very unsatisfying feeling.
