Based on characters created by writer Tom Clancy, but derivative of a dozen other undercover operative movies, this one stars Kevin Costner and Chris Pine as CIA agents trying to circumvent a dastardly Russian plot to bring down the US currency and the country with it.There's the requisite amount of action, little intrigue, only one explosion, a frenetic but not very entertaining car chase through Moscow, not much female attraction (sorry Keira Knightley, you've lost your hot-ness, and with all your money you should really get your teeth fixed), and that's about it.
It's a very old-fashioned type of "thriller", in its plot and delivery, played by one actor who's getting too old for this kind of stuff, and another who hasn't yet earned his stripes.
