*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

this movie would've been an amazing book.

as for the movie, no effort to make the characters amicable, location felt claustrophobic, the story line was teasing you throughout the whole movie without even a somewhat satisfying ending. it starts off with the main character having amnesia, not that original but i gave it a try because personally i was always interested in amnesia, but it turns out to be just drugs, confusion and spy tactics (which we all know too well by now thanks to Hollywood)

as i said before, this would've been a great chapter in a book but to drag out this one chapter into a roughly 90 min movie, was the least bit entertaining.
