Janus Metz Pedersen directs Chris Pine, Thandiwe Newton and Laurence Fishburne in this dry espionage romance where two former lovers who worked together during a hostage crisis revisit that failed mission over dinner.

Two minute sex scene between Pine and Newton = hot. Diet John Le Carre flashbacks in a cold restaurant setting= not. There is a decent twist as to the ultimate motivation of the rat but you might have giving up caring by the time the music stops, everyone finds a chair and the game is over. Glossy but inert.
