Greetings again from the darkness. Al Pacino's character is fond of saying "nothing is what it seems". I say this movie is exactly how it seems. There desperately needed to be some twist and turns. Collin Farrell ("Minority Report" and the upcoming "Phone Booth") again proves the camera loves him. He has the screen presence that Pacino had prior to becoming a parody of himself. Hey Al, what is the deal with the pants that are 6 inches too long? Bridget Moynahan is developing into a nice actress with lead potential. Director Roger Donaldson ("No Way Out" and "Cocktail", among others) does a nice job of capturing CIA training on "the farm", but the movie falls apart at the end with a cheap device to solve the movie.
