A good, twisty, cloak-and-dagger piece starring Noomi Rapace as an interrogator named Alice Racine, who works for either MI5 or the CIA, it's not clear which. Still lying low after an assignment that ended badly two years before, Alice finds herself being pulled back into the game to help stop some bad guys from releasing a deadly biological weapon somewhere in London. Beyond that, it gets complicated. John Malkovich plays her American minder. Toni Collette plays his British counterpart. Michael Douglas plays a colleague in the trade, Alice's mentor from the old days. Orlando Bloom, looking seedy, plays a thief who might not be merely a thief. You can't trust any of them, really, and in a movie like this one, there's no good reason you should. It's not a key factor in the outcome necessarily, but the actor who appears to be having the most fun here is Malkovich.
