It's a functional spy thriller, given an added sense of depth by the unique plight of a female operative. It's not a bad film, although the ending frustrated a little.
The ending knocked it down from a 7.
Serious question ahead.
But first, the differences between Rachel the female operative and Jason Bourne / 007?
[spoiler]- Rachel betrays her oath because she falls in love
- Crashes her car when distracted
- Gets raped
- Gets an abortion which blows her cover and costs her handler his job [/spoiler]
Now the question: is this film God awful sexist or am I reaching?

What was the point of this movie?
trash ending. please don't bother with this film
kinda bumbles along as an ok spy thriller told through the annoying and lazy lens of memories and then has one of the shitty endings ever that will leave you relieved this garbage is finished and surprised it ended that way. seriously only watch if you cannot scrape the barrell elsewhere.
getting tired of garbage movies and starting to rewatch better movies
