Well the reviews have been rough on this one. This is a different kind of spy film, slow and tense at times, and shocking and horrifying at others. Jennifer Lawrence is wonderful in this film, heck, she is the main reason to see it. The story is plodding and sometimes confusing, but there is a good twist at the end. It is at least more watchable than "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" (love Gary Oldman, but after 20 minutes of that slow boat to nowhere, I had to turn it off & I never do that).
WARNING there is one torture scene that is especially gruesome and hard to watch. I totally was not ready for that. This is a very R film (almost X rated at some times) and is not safe for children. An interesting film that will largely be forgotten over time, but mostly remembered for its exposure of young Miss Lawrence.
