“Remember this is a movie. For that there are things that are heightened. I for one thought it is interesting having some villain shadow … whatever operate in Greece. Also our main character here is no superhero. He wonu0026#39;t Bourne his way out of things … he has to rely on luck (and some shoody writing on the bad guys part too of course).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHaving said all that, bonus points for shooting in Greece (evident on many occasions and just a small little detail like the plastic water bottle being used during a car drive almost at the beginning is one testament of that) … and having many talk in Greek. Which our main character does not understand at all.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYou could argue that he puts a lot of lives in danger of the folk who are so willing and eager to help. But there is not time to think about small things like that … the movie has a pace that seems relentless and never stopping.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWorks out pretty fine at the first half of the movie, gets a bit dragging towards the beginning of the second part. And as stated above the villains seem especially … well light minded? Is that politically correct way of putting it? Whatever the case, this is a rock solid thriller, which is not an indicator how your next vacation (in Greece or elsewhere in Europe) will go down.”
