When I turned on the TV and browsed the programmes, I found this movie. I'm mostly keen on some good tension to forget everything around me for a while. So when the description said "adventure and action", I jumped on. Alas, it disappointed me from the first to the last minute. The protagonist seemed unnaturally arrogant in her talking, which irritated me a lot, and her script was like she had learned it by heart some minutes earlier. The other actors played their roles well, but they could have shown a lot more if the story line had been heavier.
Where was the adventure? I wouldn't call a journey into the fjords "adventure". I imagine adventure as something going beyond your limits, survival, the unknown, but definitely not this. Because of the budget the director stuck at a few places, where everything should happen. The longest distance on a half-an-hour drive or something? Action? An attempt, a bank robbery with hacker scripts, kidnapping scenes, a. Okay, I slightly agree. However, the daily-life talking bored me. Also, the actors were only gibbering about "the antagonist is a traitor and broke his wife's heart". The message was clear by the second dialogue, so the director could have shortened the movie down with approximately 1/3, leaving out the other discussions. The antagonist himself was surprisingly fair and kind. According to his wife, he is a genius and he speaks many languages. Why not exploit these qualities in the movie?
Drama: the movie deals with intrigues. Though, the outcome of these intrigues should have been more complex and visible in the Navy Dept. Already in the beginning, this story drew a clear line between the good (Navy) and the bad (the antagonist and co.). That's quite cliché and you already know what will happen. This movie had much potential because of the plot (2/10) and a part of the cast (1/10), but it couldn't captivate me. I would recommend this movie to a female public. Even a 70's 007 makes you thrill more.
