The Real Review

Most people are really enjoying this spy thriller where Keira Knightley's Helen teams up with Ben Whishaw's Sam for vengeance. The acting is the clear highlight, with Knightley and Whishaw's performances and chemistry carrying the show, even if some find the story itself a bit familiar and some of the new supporting actors like Neve Campbell and Ambika Mod didn't land well. While the visuals and humor work, the middling story and originality scores suggest the plot is more of a vehicle for the leads than a standout, and the pacing can drag at times. Ella Lily Hyland's Williams is a small but bright spot among the ensemble.
