Technically well-made but overdone and preposterous action flick. I observed it through to the end but never suspended disbelief. Checked this out on the basis of director Joe Wright who did Atonement, and it sort of left me shaking my head. Cate Blanchett as a cold government assassin was as ridiculous and unbelievable as the rest of the movie. I was anxious and grateful for the end, only to be tricked by a false ending that was as typically overwrought and preposterous as the rest. Still, I guess some who like action flicks for their own sake and are willing to buy into whatever the plot is may like it. Going to the library doesn't automatically make people smart.
