- GoofsCIA documents have spelling errors in their headers. One has "privledged" instead of "privileged" and it's the document Nina Dobrev's character reviews on her laptop during the flight to Greece. The other is a paper file that says "Informatiion" instead of "Information" in a scene later on.

Featured review
IMDb rating (5 out of 10) seems right to me
Action movie with average cast, good photography, great stunts, unusual location (Thessaloniki, Greece), good music and some nice dialogue (here and there).
Script, alas, had some really annoying aspects... for example: who would like to watch a man in his 50s, alone, defeating with his bare hands 30 thugs, most of them armed, one after the other, in a same scene?
Movie reality is cinematic, ok... but there are rules nonetheless: I'd say that 2 thugs should be the edge of 'realism', up to 5 you must be funny, plausible and it remains however debatable, 6 is reserved for James Bond and higher figures definitely require superheroes.
Another (violated) rule of mine says that a thug easily defeated in a previous scene cannot have such a come back and beat you to a pulp in a following sequence... anyway... that said, it was not boring: I reached the end titles in good spirits and it made me kill some time.
And I always liked Aaron Eckhart.
Enjoy.
