Conditions of visioning: 09.11.2017, 32" TV
Synopsis: Former rival spies, Ray and Claire (Owen, Roberts) meet again now that they are working in the private field of industrial espionage. But it their meeting really accidental?
Review: I always like watching a good spy movie, even with an added romance side like this one which turned out to be better in the same genre than Knight and Day with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. The faked rivalry between the two characters is at the center of the story, but the movie is also interesting to watch for the espionage parts and secondary characters like the CEO played by Paul Giamatti.
There are some flashback from their former life around the world, hints of romance between two people cautious (almost paranoid) by nature, and some twists that keep the story interesting until the end.
Rating: 6 /10
