B_Jacobi Terrorists making devastating weapons of mass destruction, but don't want to kill people even after setting the devices, so why do it, was your journey necessary.Cleric who deliberately sabotages his own terrorist's plots, what's the point of plotting.Strong female characters, unable to do any wrong, worrying about security failures, which of course cannot be their fault.That just leaves a CIA splinter group to be the brutal baddies and take all the hits.Point about political propaganda is that is supposed to be subtle and if Hollywood is getting this desperate, they must think they are failing to get their PC message across, as if shouting even louder will work.Otherwise, the movie is well made and nicely shot, with some gritty London scenes, but why ruin it by mindless preaching.

ropinghorse After failing to apprehend the terrorist behind a Paris attack that claimed dozens of lives, CIA agent Alice Racine is forced to live in London as a caseworker. Her mentor unexpectedly calls her back into action when the CIA discovers that another attack is imminent. Alice soon learns that the classified information she's uncovered has been compromised. Running for her life, she turns to a former soldier to help her prevent a lethal biological attack on the citizens of London.

Rcellich Entertaining several twists. Female lead is a bit of prodigy like the main character in "Covert Action". Some differences, i.e. is already in field, no mention of personal history on the main character, except that she is depressed by inability to stop a bombing in time, and how she came to be sourced by CIA. Character development could be better. More flashbacks, fleshing out would have been good for identifying with characters. Follow up (what outcome) on some of the supporting cast would be nice as well. I'd like to see this arrangement again though in sequel - think it could do well.

SnoopyStyle In London, CIA interrogator Alice Racine (Noomi Rapace) is still haunted by her failure resulting in a terrorist attack. She reluctantly accepts an emergency call to interrogate a suspect in a possible future biological attack. She starts to suspect something wrong and barely escapes from her handlers' bullets. With important information, she seeks help from her mentor Eric Lasch (Michael Douglas). Eric directs her to a safe house before he is killed. She finds thief Jack Alcott (Orlando Bloom) at the house and finds her superior Bob Hunter (John Malkovich) distrusting her. She gets help from Emily Knowles (Toni Collette) at MI5 but they are double-crossed.Veteran British director Michael Apted has a Bond movie in his resume. This one feels more like a Bourne movie especially after Alice first uncovers the trap. The overall problem for me is the various twists. They are obvious and annoyingly twisty. The motivation is questionable. It seems like they already have the connection and the code in the end which makes all the chasing around unnecessary. Imagine the suspect delivering the cancel code. That's essentially what happens and it doesn't matter. Think about it. Also, the villain's motive is the stuff of cartoons. The overall premise needs some rethinking and rewriting.
