An average movie

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, even though it was nothing really groundbreaking, it turned out to be a decent gritty spy action flick. Indeed, Pierce Bosnan gave a decent performance and it was fun to see him playing a more realistic spy than James Bond. On top of that, the action scenes were well done, realistic and quite spectacular. Still, there were a couple of things that didn't really work in this story. First of all, it was rather unbelievable that nobody discovered sooner that Alice Fournier was actually Mira Filipova all along. I mean, in the picture displayed when she was younger, she was maybe 15 years old and she couldn't have changed so much even 10 years later. Another weak twist was that John Hanley turned out to be actually the bad guy. Seriously, it just didn't make much sense. For example, why would he send Peter Devereaux after Natalia Ulanova ? How was that supposed to help him? Furthermore, following this weird  decision, Hanley was detained and, then, a few scenes later, he was not only free but was even promoted station chef but, again, why? To be honest, I don't think the whole thing made much sense during the 3rd act. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still watchable and I guess it is worth a look but I think I will forget all about it pretty soon.
