Rhys Meyers is Ari, a reluctant Israeli spy who would much prefer to be living in Germany and be the person he pretends to be, a "normal" German citizen, without a double life.
Unfortunately, Ari must go back to his homeland and embark into a dangerous undercover mission in Syria to "extract" a precious asset: an agent who goes under the name of "the Angel" and whose real identity is a mystery.
In the course of his mission, Ari is befriended by an American photographer and as it always happens in these case, you can bet the "innocent" woman is involved at some level in the spying game.
I appreciated Rhys Meyers detached delivery, since I think it would be preferable for a spy not to get too emotionally involved. One scene at the end didn't make any sense, but the revelation of "the Angel" true identity was a good plot twist. Adequately thrilling, if a bit formulaic.
