Something you don’t see regularly on Hollywood’s menu – Definitely worth your time!
The ending reminded me of “The Sixth Sense”. The only thing is, it was just us (the viewers) this time. Although the major part of the script was focused on Beckinsale’s character which she flawlessly portrays, but it was Vera Fermiga who stole the show with her limited screen time. Since, it was a work of fiction which was somewhat inspired by real events, a more screen space to Fermiga’s character would have certainly maintained the intensity in the plot which clearly declined after she parts away. You have to watch it to believe it. These two ladies faced off each other twice in the movie and I have to say those were the moments you couldn’t forget. As for the whole movie, it is something you don’t see regularly on Hollywood’s menu and therefore is definitely worth your time.The ending will leave you asking this question to yourself – “Was she really protecting the source? Was it really about her principles?” And yes, you will get your answers shortly and that answer changes every opinion you had about the characters that you could have vouched for.
And this my friend is what makes this piece of work alluring!
Bland, unlikeable and a truly idiotic ending
SPOILERSThis has some impressive reviews and a stellar cast, so I jumped right on in for what is described as an ‘edge of the seat’ political thriller. Really, it wasn’t.
It’s hard in this current political climate to not look at anyone in the Govt, Media or Law professions with anything but suspicion and cynicism and so while watching you are trying to assess who the film makers are routing for.
The main characters are really unlikeable. Everyone is jostling to be seen to be tough and independent and David Schwimmer is along to play the cucked simp that he so easily plays.
But the ending, oh my lord, is so completely ridiculous that it is laugh out loudable. We are meant to believe that Kate’s character is so principled, so filled with integrity that she would go to jail to protect her source.
She sacrifices her family, her son and indirectly leads to the killing of Vera’s character. At the same time, you can understand the Govt’s desire to find out the source given that this mole could be compromising other spies and national security. I mean, isn’t finding this type of mole or list the stuff of Bond or Mission Impossible films?
And the person she is defending is Vera’s pre-teen daughter. How utterly and completely idiotic. It’s clear that the mole is unwitting in what they did, it’s obvious that the leak is contained and doesn’t represent a security threat beyond the irresponsibility of a mother talking work infront of her child, yet this is why Kate has gone to prison.
What a complete tool. I’m not surprised that they couldn’t show the moment when Kate’s character revealed the source as everyone would just start laughing. Really, you went to prison for a source that the Feds could have dismissed as non-dangerous in less than 5 minutes?
I cannot fathom how so many actors of such calibre didn’t read the script and say ‘hey guys, this ending is beyond stupid’ but seemingly they must be cut from the same moron cloth that the people who would vote this silly film a 6 or above are.
Wildly over-rated and utterly stupid.
