Since I have always been a fan of Tom Tykwer, I was really eager to check this flick and I had some pretty high expectations. Indeed, I think he is a very good director and I thought that this movie would be awesome. It was just quite exciting to see this guy directing a more commercial feature for once but, to be honest, it ended up being his movie I have enjoyed the least so far. I mean, as expected, the direction was great but the story was just simply average. It started pretty good and i was wondering for a while where it will go but then, it became obvious that the whole thing was just another rather average thriller with a plot which I have seen so many times before. On top of that, even though Clive Owen did a decent job, I wasn't really convinced by Naomi Watts though. I have to admit that the whole thing was actually rather entertaining, there were even some pretty cool action scenes (I especially enjoyed the really impressive shootout scene inside the Guggenheim Museum in New York). To conclude, even though I thought it was a disappointment, it doesn't mean that it was really bad and I still think it is worth a look but don't expect anything great before watching the damned thing.
