Not even Francis Lawrence's solid direction can spice up what is one spy cliche after another, chock full of English actors doing Roshen accents and a doe-eyed Jennifer Lawrence acting less and less the more her character gets broken. It's entertaining and also harrowing in a popcorn sort of way. But it doesn't really say anything new and its messages are awash between stints of underexplained spy claptrap. Sets are good though, even if the photography, the dialogue and the music is all bland as balls.
