Reasonable (Ex) Spy thriller ruined by the male lead
Not a bad movie, typical 'on the run ex-agent' movie with a reasonable storyline. The acting is a bit one dimensional but, at least where Katia Winter is concerned, that seems more down to the script that has her talk like an automaton for the first 75% of the movie. I get get it, she's supposed to be a ruthless professional but it sounds too strained. The single most annoying thing that really spoils the movie though is the male 'lead'. Seriously, a more pathetic excuse for an individual you've never seen, immature, gutless and pathetic he literally does nothing but whinge and bleat throughout the entire movie. Obviously the story needs this individual to be 'normal' and in awe of Natalie but his 'total 24/7 wimp' persona was way overdone and makes him outright annoying to the point of spoiling the movie which would otherwise have been OK, but no more than OK.
Contrived, but entertaining with good dialogue.
'Negative' is a dialogue film about trust and courage presenting opposite characters on the run from a cartel. There are several well- acted scenes, and others that seem like alternative shots better left out. While some plot elements seem contrived, the direction and choreography work in the movie's favor to drive a sequence of captivating themes by way of conversation that trample the sleaziness and pretentiousness of lesser films, all with the backdrop of a majestic desert that connects Los Angeles and Arizona.
A story about a spy and a photagrapher, in a drama (thriller).
The focus is on the two leads that are on the run from assassins. Now, the reason to why they meet and have to flee together is probably the most far fetched I've seen. Other than that the story holds up. The movie does not try to make suspense every corner but instead focus on building the characters from their dialog and actions. If you only like action and less talking, this is not the movie for you.
The somewhat dorky dialog evolves as the characters warm up to each other. Some would say the dialog was boring of coarse, to me it felt more real than most other movies in the genre.
A lot of story probably got cut along the making process. There were several things I felt was left out that could have lifted the story.
The actors did a solid job, specially Katia Winter was really god portraying a tough skinned spy with a conscious. Simon Quaterman did a good job as the "out of his comfort zone"-wimp but were struggling at times when some purer emotions where required.
I enjoyed this movie, but I probably wont see it again.

Interesting movie, but poor quality sound.
This was interesting, where it was almost a how-to or how-not-to "spy".
Who and what to trust (no one!) and why.
There were no real surprises, as I watch a lot of these type of movies, but I like watching women kick butt! :) What was the most disappointing in this video, is how BAD the sound was - most especially on the female lead.
As she's having conversations in the same frame with other actors, THEY can be heard all right, but her sound is SO LOW!
Such a poor choice, as she's doing MOST of the talking.
I'd give the video a lower score JUST on this, but I don't want to rob the actors of their kudos for their efforts.
The acting was pretty good, over all.
