The choice is presented: uncover the facts or secure safety through negotiation. Coming from the filmmaker behind 'Brooklyn' was enough to get me interested. It seems many viewers have been disappointed, but I found it to be a passable movie. I’ve encountered these kinds of storylines before, so nothing felt particularly original. This translates into a plot that’s easy to anticipate; I simply continued watching to see how everything resolved itself. Apparently, the story unfolds straightforwardly, without any surprises. You'll immediately recognize who is responsible for the bomb explosion shown at the beginning. The script is well-crafted, but it wasn’t enough to impress serious film enthusiasts or critics—it might appeal more to casual moviegoers. It seems to be based on true events, yet there's no mention of this in the opening scenes or at the conclusion. Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall portray a former couple who are lawyers handling a high-profile case that will be conducted as a secret trial, meaning every action they take will be scrutinized. Eventually, they uncover information that puts their lives at risk. The remainder of the film details whether they manage to complete their task or not. There were moments of mild excitement, but the progression felt commonplace. It doesn’t fully explain the characters' reasons for acting as they do, only offering some reasonable explanations. This is more of a dramatized thriller than a visually stunning crime mystery with impactful dialogue and action sequences. They attempted to make it feel realistic, but didn’t quite succeed. Consequently, there weren't any standout performances; both lead actors were adequate. It had the possibility to be a truly great film if some action scenes had been added. Ultimately, it's not a terrible movie—just worth watching once. 6.5/10
