A plot line including a rogue CIA agent on the loose and several layers of deception interested me. It also struck me as a really difficult topic for a first-time director of a feature length film.
In the first several sequences, which were a little confusing at times, my fears seemed confirmed. It was difficult to follow what was taking place and somewhat slow. But as more information about each of the two main characters was given, the story seemed to strengthen and find its legs. The two actors playing these roles did a good job on balance. I was pleased with the ending though one of the surprises could have been set up a little better. Stronger editing overall wouldn't hurt but I liked it.
