Uninspiring and Not Good Enough
11 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Perry (Ewan McGregor) meets a Russian money launderer Dima (Stellan Skarsgard) on Moroccan vacation with his wife, Gail (Naomie Harris). Dima asked him to deliver incriminating evidence to MI6 because he knows the Russian mafia wants him and his family dead. He hopes the British Intelligence can get them safety away. However, the MI6 has dirt on their selves.

Don't expect this movie to be like North by Northwest or The Man Who Knew Too Much. This story would be better off directed by Hitchcock. The trailer made it look like a potential good film. The movie is not good and it has slow pace (boring). It doesn't have enough action or suspense and the thrill it does have won't keep audience attention.

They don't give enough character development (except Dima & MI6 agent) at all. They are one dimension and these character's make wrong decision. They never explore the relationship between Perry and Gail. We only known a little that he had an affair with one of his students but that didn't not explain why his wife is distant and nags at him. After they got involved with all the spy world they got closer then ever and she sees her husband strong side. Perry had better chemistry with his friendship with Dima. Not even the cast couldn't save this movie they deserve better than this.
