be tire of watch u. s. detective and spy movie and with all their over use cliche ( the spy who fall in love and must not and a in the saint and the nice look hero who save the free world and the russian a be always the evil guy and sort of ) all i can say about this one be that it recapture the original meaning of detective movie and and show u at the same time a new perspective ( the trouble by keep the detective job secret from the family and the unusual emotional tie between the assassin and a journalist and the passive role of the government in the crime and etc ) . a very well time paced movie with a intelligent and mature plot rarely see in detective and action movie this day . i strongly recommend it .
