Watched it on Tubi. What a throwback watching an old Ludlum book brought to life.

What a disappointment given the star power, director

What a disappointment given the star power, director and somewhat clever premise. On paper this should have no problem being a solid film but just terrible execution at every turn. The music is so boring, barely used, and uninspired. The acting is just surprisingly ok with no one surprisingly having any chemistry and just blending in, even the villain and Rutger who is sort of the main character. The cinematography isn't good either, the camerawork is basic, the night scenes at the end are so dark you can't see half the screen, none of the sets are memorable, the action scenes are just ok, and worst of all 90% of this movie is just boring exposition that goes no where. The worst part of this is the editing which is just flat out terrible. Even though Sam P. is the godfather of modern slow motion, the slow motion feels completely unneeded when used, this also jumps around CONSTANTLY in the first half with no idea what the main plot really is. This really drags the pacing until the end when the plot twist sort of makes it make sense kind of but it's still not very good. The main story is so hard to keep track of because of how jumpy it is, how much exposition, and really I can't tell for 65% of this film who the main character is or what it was about mainly until the plot twist. And despite all the exposition none of it ever tells us about the characters at all, it's just explaining the plot or pointless lines constantly. This has lots of opportunity for lots of commentary on espionage, paranoia, and trust, and this is one case where I think this should be remade as the idea could work. The main problem here is Sam P.'s declining heath that hampered everything. As it is this is a boring, muddled mess that I can't really recommend to anyone, even the most die hard Sam P. fans should stay away from this as this is a sad shell of his former abilities.
