    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Based on a 2013 novel of the same name by retired CIA operative Jason Matthews. Before the novel was even finished, Matthews sold the film rights for a seven figure sum. The novel is the first book in a trilogy, with the others being Palace of Treason and The Kremlin's Candidate.
    • Goofs
      General Korlinoi's medals are US Army medals. They include the Silver Star, the Purple Heart and the Army Good Conduct Medal.
    • Quotes

      Matron: Every human being is a puzzle of need. You must become the missing piece, and they will tell you anything.

    • Crazy credits
      The title doesn't appear until the 10-minute mark.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK version is cut for "strong sadistic violence" to earn a 15 certificate instead of an 18, which was done based on BBFC advice. As both countries make up the same distribution region, Ireland also received the same cut version (rated 16 for cinema and 18 on video). The contentious scene shows Ustinov being strangled:
      • In the UK version, we only see a brief establishing shot where his hands are covering his throat, cutting right to a close-up of Dominika struggling but completely clean. The censored footage shows the wire cutting into Ustinov's throat for much longer, in more graphic detail after his arms hang loose, and him bleeding on Dominika's chest.
      • Ustinov collapsing uses an alternate shot in the UK version, and the second close-up of Dominika is digitally bloodless as with the first, but there's still blood on her chest when putting on her clothes as per the uncut version (a continuity error).
      The uncut version is roughly 13 seconds longer.

    This film is underrated
    I was shocked reading some of the reviews on here knocking Jennifer Lawrence's performance as cold and emotionless. This is how she's supposed to act as she is, she's lost everything and has become numb. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and despite Jennifer not 'perfecting' the Russian accent as so many mention on here it is a difficult accent to learn so give the girl credit for the way she played the role! I can't fault this film, it's a spy thriller so don't listen to the critics and give it a chance.
