I'm sure it worked on paper, and to an extent it does work I suppose - but what started out and promised to be a taut thriller with some slick surprises ended up becoming too long.

It actually has a very promising start - a strange gift concealing secrets and cryptic clues - an intriguing invitation.

And each of the actors has a moment of delivering. Edward Norton is always fun and begins admirably, as does Daniel Craig - but ultimately there's too much dead weight in the script and it buckles under its own weight - too many minutes and not enough substance - but that's not to say that there isn't some fun to be had along the way - or that the whodunnit angle doesn't hold some intrigue.

I think if you sent this back to editing and dropped 20 minutes you'd end up with a decent result - but it's going to top out at 7/10.
