A strangely pitched Steven Soderbergh thriller. It's part Bourne, with it's brisk fight scenes, but these feature a woman. She's an independent operative, employed by the US Government for projects that are a teensy bit nefarious.
She's double crossed on one such project, and it takes her from Barcelona, to the USA, to Dublin, to Majorca to sort it out.
It's all a bit cold, the action could have done with a bit less of the ice-cold agent. Certainly, all of the agents I've met have been decent, level-headed folk.
Ewan MacGregor and Antonio Banderas are pointless gloss. I barely noticed Michael Fassbender and Bill Paxton. Michael Douglas has got a pair though. Getting paid for taking a stroll in a film like this. Embarrassing.

There's not much to recommend this one I'm afraid.
