Shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (Helen Mirren) and Stephan (Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds) in this espionage thriller spanning two different time periods.
Both time periods covered in this drama feature excellent casts portraying the same characters. Unfortunately, the story is too slow and dull to use those talents fully. I'm getting tired of the time jump genre, start now, move back, return to now. It isn't necessary and just makes the story more confusing than it needs to be. Frankly, even though this is being sold as a thriller, there just aren't many thrills to be experienced. It's a decent story but something I'd expect to see on a pay movie channel and not in a theatre. A large screen or fantastic sound won't add anything to your enjoyment. If you want to see it in a theatre I'd wait for a discount showing...you'll be a lot happier with the cost, assuming this even makes it to a discount house. Theatres/Times.
