It's a Tom Clancy's with a science-fiction twist. There's no comic relief (!) and no breather as the action is non-stop. The action, though, isn't there for the sake of blowing things up or having high-speed car chases; it serves to drive the story forward.
Shia LaBeouf carries the movie with natural ease it seems and his (adventurous, backpacking to Indonesia, Bali ;)) Jerry Shaw character is cool and poignant and shares a degree of chemistry with Michelle Monaghan's 'Female'. Billy Bob Thornton is stern as the sceptical, no-nonsense, old-school FBI agent.
My wish, however, is for the movie to be taken a step or two further to realize its full potential.
(Running time: 118 minutes)
