The best thing about watching movies on demand, is not that you often get to see stuff you wouldn't normally find at your local multiplex, or that you can stop and start it to view it around your schedule. No, the best thing about watching movies on demand is that you can congratulate yourself on not wasting your time traipsing downtown to see something that's best fast-forwarded.
Like this dismal offering.
Christian Slater - I should've guessed - is a semi-retired CIA operative lazing around in Sofia, Bulgaria. Donald Sutherland is the useless local CIA station chief. Timothy Spall is a boring psychiatrist.
Somehow, the three bumble around with a night-club dancer who moonlights as an assassin.
That's about it. There's no plot worth explaining, no action worth describing, and no art worth reviewing.
It's all a bit like Slater's movie career. Never amounted to much, and this perfectly illustrates that.
