Leofwine_draca This B-movie thriller has the unusual setting of Suffolk as a basis for the typical Hollywood-style action. The action is centred in and around the titular building, which is owned by the CIA and used for broadcasts. The problem is that some traitorous bad guys want to access the system to broadcast their own messages, which is where a weary John Cusack steps in.Cusack plays a burnt-out operative who has been reassigned to an easy duty but finds it anything but. His pretty young associate is played by Malin Akerman, of WATCHMEN fame. The two of them are involved in a cat and mouse game that takes place mainly in dark corridors and the like; the problem is that it's obviously a cheaply-made film and boy, does it look it. There are a few brief faces in support - namely Lucy Griffiths (ROBIN HOOD), Hannah Murray (GAME OF THRONES), Richard Brake (BATMAN BEGINS), and a welcome Liam Cunningham - but mostly this is oddly generic stuff, and not very enthralling.

Magnus Svensson It's no master piece, but it is way better than it's current score (atm 5.6). This is a classic action movie somewhere in the middle of an unholy "bond", "die hard" and "taken" trinity.Malin Åkerman makes an impressive acting performance in every way, incluing an extremely convincing "being knocked out"-scene. She kills her role in every way possible and this role should never be held agains her in any way. The story is much deeper than first portrayed and makes you feel for the protagonist, even before there is a dilemma portrayed. Once the dilemma is in place, the story goes on in a well paced manor but without any big surprises.To keep it short, this movie is really enjoyable but you might be able to guess the outcome even after 10 minutes of runtime.8/10

Mischief810 Finally, after a string of dreadful scripts, poor directing and outright silliness, Cusack gets a role he can sink his teeth into. His character, Emerson Kent, is a burned out black ops agent. The character is a dark, tortured soul and Cusack plays it magnificently. Malin Akerman also shines in her role as Katherine, an ebullient and somewhat naive cryptographer with issues of her own.The plot gets down to business very quickly and the pace of the film never really lets up. Kent lets you know right away that he's no nice guy, so it's accurate to say that there really aren't any good guys here. Kent only seems intent on doing the right thing despite his ruthless past.There are no car chases. There are a few well placed explosions. But enough gunfire and action to move this 90-minute flick forward at just the right pace. It is at times thrilling, at times poignant, and at times quite violent. What else could you ask for in an action thriller?

kosmasp A pretty decent thriller that ticks all the right boxes. It's not overly clever and it will probably not surprise you (unless you haven't watched many movies before watching this), but it will be entertaining enough, especially with the cast at hand (Cusack in particular, even though he doesn't have to stretch many "muscles").M. Ackerman is not only eye candy, but her role does have a sort of mystery surrounding it. Not a big one, but a decent one to let you be thrilled and stay with it. It's a one location sort of movie and there are a lot things that don't make much sense, but you will only notice if you are completely bored by it (which I don't think you will be).
