Phil Hoad Guardian In the absence of any feel for intrigue, not least the potential intricacies of a husband-and-wife spook team, Johnson shuffles a deck of espionage-film cliches largely at random. Rated: 2/5 May 29, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Generic action spy film. Rated: B- Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This generic spy thriller consists of rudimentary action and chase scenes, tons of exposition as characters explain the plot to one another, and textbook twists that lack life or spark. Rated: 2/5 May 18, 2024 Full Review Daniel Gorman In Review Online [Chief of Station] does give Johnson a chance to flex some filmmaking muscles of a different sort... [It] isn’t going to win any awards, but it gets the job done with efficiency and precision. That’s the Jesse V. Johnson guarantee. May 7, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film It’s really Kurylenko's work that gives the film its emotional core, but action fans need not worry: she still delivers some impressive kicks, and gets to jump away from a petrol explosion. Rated: 2/5 May 6, 2024 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See This is exactly the movie it looks like, and sometimes that's enough. Rated: C+ May 6, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

hk b Terrible. I can't believe Ackhart would agree to do this movie. There are so many holes in the plot and really bad fight scenes. I can't recommend it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Erik V Compelling story and fight scenes, but the shoot-outs scenes are horribly designed, even with the "car chase." Terribly unbelievable. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Frank C Intense thrilling action movie! 5 stars, 2 thumbs up and a definite A ++ !!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review T T Always liked Eckhart, and the story was decent. Not a ton of depth, but decent. But like so many other 'action' films so many scenes were just over the top unbelievable. The first of numerous examples being the first real action scene with all the bad guy agents trying to kill him; totally unbelievable. How come they always have to have 20 guys expert gunman missing an easy to hit main target. At least make it believable! Less bad guys, a more plausible escape, something! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Skip K I turned it off. The action scenes were so unrealistic that shut it down. Absolutely terrible. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review one spoken w It's bad. I wanted to like it because I kind of like Aaron Eckhart, but it was just boring and predictable. The action scenes weren't even well done. They put it on Hulu apparently months after its release. I watched it on there so I'm really not out anything. If you've got that subscription, it'll kill some time. That's about the only good thing I can say about it. Everything about it was just so preposterous. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
