OK - you are either going to love this movie or hate it - there will be no middle ground! If you are looking for an "old fashion spy movie" well this is not the one for you.

Its more about how someone is moulded into a spy, i.e.: sexual violence - rape and attempted rape, abuse (verbal and physical). Mind games.

The movie does deliver on the thriller side, because you never know until the end on which side of the fence she is on... Is she a Russian spy working for the "Motherland" and as such, working all the angles to get what her superiors sent her to get (information on the high level mole in the Russian government) or is she a double agent? Can you trust her? Should you be trusting her? Is she playing you?

If you take it for what it is worth and don't try to over analyse everything - "are the accents truly Russian or a bad imitation, etc". It will be a very pleasurable experience although 2 hours long.
