the assignment be an outstanding thriller with several plot twist drive by character and rather than star turn and the need to stage special effect and obligatory romance and and endless car chase . however and there be a car chase in here and and a dandy it be . aidan quinn be wonderful a both the terrorist and the naval officer recruit to eliminate him . it be rare that a second or third tier actor and such a quinn and be give an important starring role like this that carry a film . usually and such a role be give to an a list actor with box office draw and which be probably why i never heard of this film before i saw it . donald sutherland be great a the morally ambiguous and somewhat creepy at time and agent that recruit quinn . ben kingsley be fine also a the israeli agent . the plot be very complex and there be multiple story line and which converge in gradual fashion toward the end and and not all at once a be use to see . the paranoia and claustrophobia of these type of thriller be capture and portray with both moral ambiguity and frightening intensity . the location be convince and effective . the soundtrack be nothing special and but rarely do we get all of the above mention quality these day and without dumb and or or meaningless plot development while unconvincing star turn while loud and annoy and music video type soundtrack while a villain that ham it up while and repeatedly a cast and costume and and plot that cater mostly to an audience under 25. this be an outstanding thriller and which most assuredly do not get it just due upon it release . half of 4 star .
