I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Fantastic!
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I couldn't get thru the first scene.... the actors were sitting at a table and the camera was shaking like it was an 9 degrees earthquake.
I thought this was a great movie. Excellent acting, excellent plot. I thought this was perhaps Pierce's best acting ever. He was very focused on his character and it was very believable acting on his part. And Olga is always a very believable rock solid actress. The plot was very interesting and had a great supporting cast. I also thought it was interesting to see the different locations the story took the viewer to as well. The dude that played the 2nd lead did a great job as well and I liked how they presented his character with all of the complications that his profession came with, and how that job would affect your conscience and the inner conflict of what kind of a person you think you are, what you were, where you are going, and what can you do to affect where you will end up as a person. I thought it was a great movie in every way and a rock solid 10.
OK, it's not a "classic" spy film that you will want to watch over and over, but it's a decent thriller that has some interesting plot twists that kept me guessing. Pierce Brosnan tries to act like a jaded tough guy, but despite all the cussing he can't hide the urbanity and sophistication that made him the perfect Bond, so perhaps he was a bit miscast here, or he tries too hard to get away from that character. The David Mason character has perhaps the most development, someone with a heart that we can relate to. Like most films, there's lots of cannon fodder (how do these guys get their jobs if they're that bad?). Ultimately, the good guys come through and the bad guys get their comeuppances one way or another. My main complaint is that the right-hand henchman of the film doesn't get a proper Hollywood showdown; in fact, it's a major letdown. The top henchman should be the keynote fight for the protagonist, no? The ultimate test? Maybe the film makers deliberately tried to be different in this case. If so, they shouldn't have, as the viewer gets robbed of something you are naturally looking forward to. It's like the WWF without a main event. And also, one scene is more in-your-face than we need. We get it, stop hitting us in the head with a sledgehammer. (You will know what I mean.)
I decided to watch this movie not knowing it was based on a novel, haven't read the novel either so don't know if it did justice to the film or not.Coming to the film,was expecting a good movie since it casts Pierce Brosnan as a an American spy.The beginning of the movie seemed interesting, have always liked Pierce Brosnan in the role of a spy. Devereaux (Pirce Brosnan) was a character i couldn't understand, sometimes he acts just like he should, an intelligent spy with amazing skills, can handle tough situation easily, and then sometimes he acts just the opposite making naive mistakes. The story was confusing with lots of loopholes. So in the movie, CIA roams freely in Russia and there are no police. It felt like it was an American territory where Russian police or intelligence had no hold. You can enter a hotel and easily get to the upcoming president of Russia, CIA can do whatever it wants and the world would believe a Chechnyan girl who was physically abused by the antagonist via a email and lastly the Americans would want this girl who had proof even its agents had a hand in starting a war.My score - at best 5.5 The soundtrack was nothing spectacular.
