A woman like Jenifer Laurence needs to be really brave to make this kind of old fashioned Spy movie cause honestly there is no new stuff in this kind of movie any more. Cold war is finished and there is no more spy game like this anymore. But she was not brave or really made up her mind to be the charactor this time. Why now making this kind of movie? But still if you wnat to make this kind of movie, there should be a new stuff to added such as 1-real suffering from spy school learning all kinds of brutal and 'sexually going too far training'. But all she've done was saying I am not a prostitute when she was forced to have sex for training. So we saw nothing that can sympathize her from training. She learning or suffered nothing from it. 2. Jennifer really didn't seduced the opposite males to make him fall into her when she was in the line of work. When she was seducing the CIA guy, she was not even half naked. She was wearing all of her clothes on and just robbing herself to him. That's all she've done. This is not seducing enough to make us feel something. Think about the movie like LUST and Caution. 3. torturing scenes should be really extreme which did not happened. Most of the torturing were all just not scary at all. We've seen much much scary tortures from other movies and these are just simply not working to make us feel wow it really is scared. IT was merly to show that they are torturing and that was not enough at all. I think the both actress and the director found the easy way to make this movie. Why even rated R making this kind of soft just bypassing incidents? To just make a TV rated movie? Jennifer thought that she is a great star and will still work for the audience just to show herself a little bit without really suffering to act that will really make the audience feel that she really felt things during acting. She just pretended to act in this movie. She was not really suffering or trying enough to make us feel something. Think of movies like LUST and Caution (mentioning this movie already twice right?) I am not crazy about watching extremes nudity or torturing shots. But this movie had nothing to really make us feel the charactor. No real breathtaking story or great acting or new experience. All of the members of this movie just wanted to get done with it. They really didn't worked hard enough to make it real. Simply aweful movie to watch.
