It's early Monday morning and I started watching this before midnight last night. Well, call me a masochist. Why do i do these things to myself I ask. I don't know any of the actors except for Billy Baldwin who is interchangeable with his older brother in their awfulness. How did they age so badly??? Anyway, this was so bad that I'm just filling up the character requirements now. I skipped the part where the male lead was going to describe some horrific puppy abuse. Anyone who can think of appalling scenes like that should be strung up - only twisted people want to watch that . Hard No.

Just sit back, ignore the technicalities and inconsistencies and go for the ride.

I think the movie was about 20 minutes too long and the non linear timeline was irritating. You have to pay close attention in case you miss something and the movie then just becomes confusing.

This is the second movie in a row I've watched with a skinny "heroine" in the lead and this was the better of the two. You have to suspend belief when you watch these types of movies or you'll lose your mind.

I enjoyed the two hunky male leads more. Lucky Anna.

Even Helen Mirren was enjoyable, but she has to stop with the dodgy accents.

Will the real Kate Beckinsale please stand up. What the actual.. it's like two different actresses played the same part. Even the lips were slightly less "fish-like" in some parts, never mind the husky voice. What the hell. It was very disconcerting.

The accents were all over the place. It's a Brit film. Why didn't they just make them all MI5 or something instead of Americanising everything and so they have to be CIA with terrible American accents. Why did the boyfriend have to be Scottish?? Poor Rupert Friend.

Anyway, a poor show all round. If this gets green lit for a sequel I'll be very surprised. But, when has that ever stopped another bad movie from being inflicted on the masses.
