Richard R.

A slick, stylish thriller. Overall, the film does seem to fall short of the mark in some respects. However, Ben Kingsley's performance is so good and believable that it takes the film to another level.

Love this movie. Even though it is in English I had to use subtitles because of their accents. Ben Kingsley is awesome in this!
