This movie was very formuliac, with scant character development. It tried, but the actors and script just weren't strong enough. I don't know why so many people like this one. Wait for the DVD and watch it for a home date night movie.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

This movie is very solid; but not great. For those who need action all the time (which is never how real world situations unfold), it won't be for them. This movie portrays what being a spy must be really like; sometimes the sheer boredom and tedium of waiting for the right moment to capture your prey, and the struggle between mental weakness and frailty no matter how physically strong you have been prepared and trained to be.
This was a VERYgood movie for the genre that it is classified in. It delivers in the Wes Craven gore fashion that it is expected, and one to purchase if you are a fan of these types of movies. I would NOT go as far as to call it great because overall it is somewhat predictable. However, what makes it a solid movie is because it is a very realistic situation, and the acting by both good and bad guys was believable. This a good date movie if you want to be scared and horrified. Stay away if you are too squeemish.
