Genre: Drama/Action/Crime/Mystery/Thriler
Starring: Clive Owen, Naomi Watts, Armon Mueller-Stahl, Brian F. O'Bryne, Ulrich Thomsen
The International Bank of Business & Credit (IBBC) has been linked with funding terrorist activities. Interpol Agent Louis Salinger (Owen) learns that the bank purchases weapons manufactured in China and sells them to third world countries. Salinger is accompanied by New York District Attorney Eleanor Whitman (Watts) who look for ways to bring down the IBBC. Umberto Calvini is only 1 of the two people in the world who supplies missile guidance systems and is also a strong Italian Prime Ministerial candidate. He gets shot during a political rally for refusing to supply the IBBC with the guidance systems. Salinger and Whitman realise that anyone who went against the IBBC was killed or went missing. The story is well made and finely executed and along with good performances make it a very good watch. A must watch for people who have loved movies of the likes of Bourne & Michael Clayton. The ending was a little abrupt and could have ended on a slightly better note, but all that said and done, it is a fabulous movie nonetheless.
Thumbs up: Plot and performances
Thumbs down: Slightly better ending
Rating: 8.0/10
