Female Bourne
A decent all female lead cast spy thriller. From the same studio as Jason Bourne and it shows. Plenty of globe trotting exploits featuring shootouts, espionage and all the spy craft you'd expect. The cast overall is pretty good, the story and twists are decent although maybe running out of ideas a little by the end. But overall an enjoyable action spy thriller if nothing ground breaking.

Well written with no trace of sparkly vampires, I'm sold. Kidding, it's a whole different genre.

This spy thriller was worth the read.

The characters were memorable and well developed.

The plot was solid and no holes presented themselves.

The story was well executed and it provided a nice escape.

I'm really enjoying where this series is going. This particular issue was very good even if it did feel like it was missing that "X Factor". I really enjoyed the Mission Impossible spy thriller feel that the book is taking on and I'm really excited to see where it will continue to go.

I'm not a big fan of Angelina Jolie to be honest. However I still found this a good spy action/thriller. It has tons of action, stunts, chases, shootouts and a few twists a long the way all packed into 90 minutes. A good entertaining action flick if nothing new or outstanding.

What? Not Debby Harry
So, honestly I thought this was a biopic about the band Blondie and now I feel silly.

This is a cold war spy thriller full of action but let down by being very clichéd and so a bit cheesy.

Not bad
This spy-thriller turned out pretty decent. Not the greatest movie ever but it was better than expected. The acting was good and the cinematography was, too. The story was ok. The science part not so believable, but when is it, usually? Anyway it made the story interesting. This one is worth a watch.

A good espionage Thriller
I didn't see many reviews before seeing this, just a trailer. It's a very stylish spy thriller with some great cast members.
The trailer made it seem quite a seductive thriller, whilst it does have some sex scenes and nudity it's gratuitous rather than sexy. It's quite violent and brutal at times with some torture scenes.
Overall the story is interesting but not gripping and the pacing is up and down in the 2nd half of the film. Thankfully the ending was decent and Lawrence does well in a challenging role.
