needs more depth, back-story, 11 June 2009
Author: apricot-rabbit from United States

This is a well-made movie, with no glaring flaws (unlike the other SIFF film with Röhm and Roberts). Unfortunately, there's not too much more to the story than what the SIFF blurb tells you, and I was left feeling that there was much more story and emotion to be had from the characters if we could have spent another hour in their world. On paper there certainly are plenty of reasons to feel for these characters, but in the end I just didn't care that much about what happened to them. According to the director, the CIA angle of the story was not part of the original plot, which explains why it seems out of place as anything more than a vehicle for the ex-spy's character's to spy on his daughter.
