A bad movie

To be honest, I really had no idea what to expect from this flick but since it was the first feature film starring Keira Knightley, I thought I might as well check it out. Unfortunately, Knightley had only a very small part with only a couple of scenes and no dialogue whatsoever. Anyway, above all, this movie turned out to be pretty bad. Seriously, the beginning was just really weak but the damned thing kept sinking lower and lower by the minute. Indeed, even though it was visually decent enough, pretty much nothing else did work in this movie. For example, the characters were never properly introduced and, even at the end, you might still wonder who was who and what the hell did they have to do with this story. Why did the English detective brought up his daughter? Who was this young French woman welcoming the main character the airport and constantly following him around? What the hell did in do in France since he didn't have any jurisdiction there? In fact, it was a rather simple story but it was told in such a convoluted way and the end-result was just a mess filled up with some non-sensical scenes. For example, at some point, the main character had sex with one of the main suspects and she confessed pretty much everything during their sexual intercourse and this scene was just so pathetic to behold. Anyway, to conclude, the whole thing was a big waste of time and you should probably avoid it.
