An average movie

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Noomi Rapace and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, eventually, to be honest, even though Michael Apted is always a competent director and even though Rapace as usual nailed a solid performance, I really struggled to care about the damned thing. Indeed, by now, I have seen my share of thrillers dealing with spies who have been compromised and who spent the entire duration not only saving the world  but also salvaging their reputation (wasn't it basically the plot for ALL the 'Mission Impossible' installments?). Sure, in this genre, it was probably not the worst flick I have seen but, eventually, it was still another cheap Euro thriller (For example, unsurprisingly, even though the plot takes place in London, most of it was shot in Prague). Above all, the ending was just so far-fetched and still terribly generic and it is just sad to see such a fine actress like Noomi Rapace giving it all time and time again for such unworthy flicks. So far, ever since she got her breakthrough with 'Millenium', she has been playing only in such underwhelming action flicks and/or thrillers of the same level, with the notable exception of 'Prometheus' which wasn't exactly amazing either. Maybe she should get the lead in a (really good) TV-show instead? Anyway, to conclude, the damned thing was not really bad but I still don't think it is really worth a look though.
