Plot

A CIA Interrogator is lured into a ruse that puts London at risk of a biological attack.

What I Think

As the movie opens, we are introduced to our main character Alice Racine, who is played by Noomi Rapace, as she works as a member of an immigration office working with immigrants in the UK. This is the work she has started doing due to a huge trauma she suffered during an operation as a CIA agent. She gets reinstated into the CIA when a biological terroristic threat is discovered in London. From this point on you have to strap on your ass kicking boots because there is a wild ride ahead.

The story moves along at a decent pace and is packed to the gills with plenty of spy movie tropes such as extreme betrayal, tragedy, double crosses, and so on and so forth. Orlando Bloom has a small role as a thief that gets mixed up in the conspiracy. Michael Douglas also has a small but important role in which he is a mentor to our heroine. John Malkovich plays a higher up in the CIA that is responsible for the mission that puts our girl in all sorts of danger. Finally, Toni Collette is the British Special Agent in charge of all UK mission.

All in all this movie is great with a twist around every corner. There is not much in the way of predictability and that is good. The biggest question you may ask yourself is, "Who do you trust."

If you liked Mission Impossible and the Bourne Identity Series you will more than likely enjoy this movie.

I give this movie ⭐⭐⭐⭐¾ of 5 stars.
