gerithecat
fast paced action thriller delivers from beginning to end. great performances from Reynolds and Washington. A tense and thrilling reminder of the great three days of the condor (1975)

Tries really hard to be a Bourne-like espionage-thriller and while the action sequences aren't as well done, still has some entertaining moments. Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington have some great scenes together. Kind of surprised, given it's Universal, there hadn't been a few direct-to-video sequels at this point... **3.75/5**

"Matt" (Ryan Reynolds) is a bored, ambitious CIA agent looking after a safe house in South Africa desperate for something meatier to do. Then his wish comes true as he finds himself looking after a "most wanted" "Frost" (Denzel Washington). Needless to say, their safe house turns out to be anything but, and now they are chased all over the place unsure who to/not to trust in this is perfectly functional action thriller. Daniel Espinosa keeps it all taut and interesting and the pair make for quite a convincing team on-the-run. Brendan Gleeson and Sam Shepard chip in now and again to a storyline that works quite well too. Worth a watch.
