Like many here, I went in with somewhat low expectations. But instead I came out pretty satisfied. The movie has interesting pacing with long down periods between actions sequences. This somehow worked with pretty good acting from Maggie Q. She of course is also quite easy to look at and the director/cinematographer seem to agree. Plot is pretty thin (good assassins vs bad people that hire assassins) but what action movie isn't. Also refreshing to see an ambiguous character in Michael Keaton who is sort of stuck in the middle of it all.
