Heiho,

I've seen it yesterday. It's recommendable if you want to watch a dense thriller which gets more of its drive by the direction where people look, and not by long chases/explosions/shootouts. There _is_ some bits of chase, and one very extended shootout, but a true action fanboy surely would have loved more of that.
You don't want to see it because of Naomi Watts, who's just slightly more than staffage; and Clive Owen stares hollowly into nothing most of the time (looking pretty much like Mel Gibson in Mad Max II, which, credit given, suits the character he plays). A great Armin Mueller-Stahl, though.

Certainly you don't want to see it if you're all in for a happy ending, where some bankster organization would be torn apart, because this won't happen.
Enough spoilers.
so long ...
