Blandly moves along
A pretty anodyne film - attempts to be a thrilling story about a corporate deal. but it's not very thrilling and merely competently acted. No chemistry between the leads. Though, there are a humorous number of occasions when people just happen to be walking along the corridor and 'just happen' to overhear salient conversations in the next room. Suggests corporations and governments are often nasty and morally corrupt - what a shock.
Robustly unmemorable. -
