Morgan Freeman is a national treasure on the screen. Antonio Banderas is... well... Antonio Banderas. And Radha Mitchell is as exquisitely gorgeous as she is exceptionally talented.
The film does get off to a slow start and it does take a while to get there while characters and plot are being developed. But my goodness, once this flick gets there it really goes there.
I found the film to be well directed and well acted. The screen writing could have moved this a little faster, and allowed for even more surprises than what we see near the end.
Still, it's a fun movie to watch and if you like intrigue, suspense, a bit of action and surprising plot twists, you will really like this.
The musical score is also totally in tune with the theme of each scene. That's a sign of quality editing and digital work. A solid job.
This gets 8/10 only because of the screenplay. It could have been better, but what film on this kind of budget couldn't be?
Enjoy. I think you will.
