Freelance covert operative Mallory Kane is hired out by her handler to various global entities to perform jobs which governments can't authorise and heads of state would rather not know about. After a mission to rescue a hostage in Barcelona, Mallory is quickly dispatched on another mission to Dublin. When the operation goes awry and Mallory finds she has been double crossed, she needs to use all of her skills, tricks and abilities to escape an international manhunt, make it back to the United States, protect her family, and exact revenge on those that have betrayed her.

The arty end of the quirky (female) hit man movie. Looks great, interesting pace, interesting cast -- it just doesn't add up to much. All the detail is a bit too generic to work as a spy movie, and it never really becomes personal. It's enjoyable, but could definitely have been better.

Another of the type of movie where a woman agent is used for covert operations; and as usual in the plots of this type of movie today - the girl overpowers men almost twice her size! But it's not too, too bad - because it's English and more believable than it would have been if the Yanks did it. Pacy and interesting - we enjoyed it! Steve

I really enjoyed this movie and Gina Carano is the all girl action hero. Well worth watching.

A little convoluted, but the action scenes are brilliant and you can actually follow who's hitting who (Michael Bay please take note). I couldn't believe the number of famous faces... until I realised it was Soderbergh directing. I'm guessing he pulled in a few favours for this one...
