Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/domestic double standards/references to drugs and yes there may be some censored adult language references in this content.

Avoid this film like the plague: briefly/summary; we have these two individuals that sometimes worked together on this job; they are trying to pull this con job Ray Koval/other characters and Claire Stenwick/other characters [Clive Owen and Julia Roberts:] they have an awkward relationship and arrangement.

Generally speaking: the storyline/script, exposition character developments, framework and pacing of this 125 minutes film is a hot steaming pile of manure; we have massive time jumps so instantly you can forget having any kind of momentum or cohesiveness on any level which I will be completely honest with you I can only last the first 40 minutes, before I was checking on how much of this film we had left to watch; I was doing a celebration with the knowledge that we were a roundabout the 50 minute mark towards the end, this film also does something really quite annoying; it does these small sometimes shrinking rectangle or squares or whatever to try and create an element mystery or/and sophistication and in my opinion it achieves none of it other than to wind me up, what is the point of asking me about the pacing? Because like to referenced earlier this film has no cohesiveness due to the fact that we are moving all over the place and it moves slow and steady anyway, I think it has more to do with the fact why settle down when we are just going to be lifted up and put somewhere else?

Action; Roberts' character at the time is trying to pass on this information without getting caught or found out

Character developments and performances; the vast majority of the cast are the standard character types for this type of project and their performances reflect those character types to a solid standard. But Roberts and Owens; be it the character developments or/and performances suck; I mean if you have been doing my content long enough; you should know by now; I have a strong disdain for double standards, so when you have Roberts' character sleeping with someone [Owens character way at the beginning to get the job done back then; that is seemingly okay] but when Owens' character does it; it is not okay, furthermore it is okay for Roberts' character to screw with Owens' character's head, but when Owens' character does it; it is not okay and on top of the exposition character developments, framework and pacing as I have already alluded to; this pairing is just insufferable, be it the framework and pacing or the exposition character developments or other I just don't care; they have 0 chemistry throughout this film.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; I completely lost interest in it and the person I watch some others contend with briefly fell asleep twice, this film is just a complete waste of time, as I have already shown insufferably boring and infuriating, it has little bits and pieces before the closing credits, yet somehow this film also has some awards accredited to its name such as a Winner ASCAP Film and Television Music Awards 2010 SCAP Award Top Box Office Films James Newton Howard Shared with: Confessions of a Shopaholic and 4 Nominees which include but not limited to Casting Society (CSA) 2009 Artios Award Outstanding Achievement in Casting - Big Budget Feature - Drama Ellen Chenoweth
