i must admit i go into the theatre interested and but skeptical . slowly and i get draw into thing and and by the time the we be at the fourth vantage point and i be fascinate by how all the story interrelate with each other and and wonder the story would end up . the acting be uniformly excellent and especially that of dennis quaid and who i have previously consider a mostly comic actor and but be very convince here a a secret service agent . the direction and script be also excellent and especially when you consider both be first timer in the world of feature film . the script be not without it clichés and but i do not see most of the plot twist come and which i can usually spot come a mile away in a film like this . there be one real groaner of a plot twist that you would have to be an idiot not to see and but it go by so fast that it doesn not really matter . a lot of the audience in the screening i be at got frustrate by the repeated section and obviously have no attention span . but once the third act of the film kick into gear and everybody stop complain . speaking of which and the third act be the payoff which we have all be wait for . see all the plot thread converge in such a convincing matter be nice and a be the final action scene and which seem like it be pluck right out of one of the bourne film . this come as little surprise and since director pete travis and bourne series director paul greengrass have work together in the past . as skeptical a i have go in and i come out impressed . not since the bourne ultimatum have i see such a convincing and engross action thriller .
