I bought this film from AmazonUK as it was on special offer (plus it had Joe Flanigan in it) and I must say I'm very glad I did.
The plot is an interesting one which is great but it is the high quality of the acting that made me enjoy the film so much. All of the cast were excellent, in particular the two actors playing the main characters of Freya (Navi Rawat) and Brendan (Joe Flanigan). When I bought the film I was a bit worried that there would be dodgy TV-movie quality performances but they were anything but.
Joe played a friendly, normal-if-a-bit-dippy NSA agent who thankfully isn't one of the annoying superhero types normally found in these kinds of films and Navi convincingly played a young woman struggling to deal with an unusual gift and a tumultuous few days.
I also think the film is beautifully shot and the locations are lovely.
My only criticisms are that at times the films feels like a pilot for a telly series - it would actually have been a good choice for a telly series but I'm glad that Joe went on to star in Stargate: Atlantis :)
My other criticism is the stereotypical portrayal of nasty Russian agents with the daft accents etc.
I recommend watching this film, it won't be a waste of your time.
