The movie is slow-paced so those who like action packed will be disappointed. It works as a slow build origin story.
The actors play within their strengths, no real weak weak links.
The casting is off. The protagonist female should be older for the profession she is in. The protagonist male should be younger considering how he is written and directed. The 'other American' did not come across believable, this casting choice should have been either older or more rugged.
There is very little character development, so we don't know who/why of anyone's motivations. Makes it hard to understand some of the events.
Overall I was liking the movie, with the biggest flaw being way too convenient plot devices. But the ending was.......let's say....European arthouse director ending....and took a 7 star movie and made it 5 star. It this was the first episode of a series okay, as a movie, just a big no.
