Really Surprised!

Good movie but grossly overrated

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I would have hoped that as they were filming scenes in Russia that they would at least have gotten a person with a Russian Accent to TRY to get Tara Reids lines to sound even close to believable. It was horrible watching her, there would be no accent on the majority of the words she spoke, and then she would try to sound foreign by using the word "Zie" instead of The. Wow, great acting there Tara, only problem is, people with a Russian accent don't use that sound when they say "The" in English, so your one foreign word was actually wrong. If you were trying to play somebody who was French or German, then at least your one word would have worked. But it was so awful, it was like listening to those weird Youtubes of Brittnay Spears when she was drunk and pretending she had an English Accent but just sounded like a drunk girl from Louisiana speaking in a funny voice. Tara Reid needs to marry somebody rich and stop trying to be an actress. Or at least stick to parts that don't require any acting. She doesn't seem like a bad person, but she is just unwatchable on screen in this.

Too bad there wasn't any nudity, (and there were a couple of scenes where it would have fit the plot line}. Would have helped me to enjoy this a little more. There are the usual car chases and aggressive Soviet police activities. I couldn't believe that there aren't any helicopters for the car chase. The photography was good enough, and the appearance of the actors fits their characters. But the plot line takes a turn that is impossible to believe when the CIA agent decides to rescue a girl (Reid) who claims she will be killed if he leaves the country. An international incident would have occurred if this were real life. And of course there is way to much shooting with nobody hitting anything.

The story isn't very strong. Don't expect a "Bourne identity" kind of movie. It started of strong, Tara speaking Russian and it even sounded credible. (Not that I'm the Russian language expert.) Moscow had that darkish depressing look what gave this movie potential, I still believed in it. To bad it only took about half an hour to see they really missed the spot with this one. Acting was poor, maybe because the story itself was not very strong. There is this part in the movie where Gordon Patrick (Nick Moran) is having a conversation on the phone with the C.I.A., like you're listening to a Chinese synchronizer. W.T.F!? Too bad, the writer didn't even take little effort to give the main characters depth. Also, bit of a cheap and easy ending.Plus point is almost every scene where Tara Reid is in. Not that she's acting that well, in fact, she doesn't. But she really looks great in this movie. Overall, it was a bit of a disappointment. Rental material….maybe.

Gordon Patrick, young analyst of the CIA, should investigate the mysterious death of an important Russian politician. Soon it does friendship with Dina, an intelligent youth with a secret past.And she carries directly to a dangerous point without return, in which the more he advances more dangerous he returns : crime organized, political murders and the murky financing of a campaign, they are only the tip of the iceberg.Finally , Gordon should be faced to a brutal reality: those in which has trusted they are in which should never have believedThe whole thing at the above is a snack worth for a weekend
