I belong to that group of people who think that The Day Today, Brass Eye, Jam and Four Lions are works of a genius: Chris Morris. Because of this, I naturally expected this movie to be very intelligent, and funny as hell. Unfortunately, it wasn't. In fact, I laughed maybe twice in the beginning and then no more. Maybe the problem is that this movie was made in the US. For some reason, when very funny British comedians make movies in the US, or with American actors, their movies feel American, I mean, somehow commercial, which makes them be boring. The same with this movie. The dialogs between the FBI agents were just unbearable. And why is Anna Kendrick in this? Apart from not really fitting into this movie, I don't even understand why she is so famous. Sorry, I don't think she is a good actress. But then, everyone else in this movie wasn't great either. I feel sad writing this, since I really like Chris Morris' work. This story is important, and should be a serious movie, a thriller, an action movie, not a comedy.
