Caught this last night at the Alamo Drafthouse here in Austin. It's a solidly entertaining political thriller with some great performances from McGregor, Brosnan and Olivia Williams.
One thing I really enjoyed was the pacing of the film, which isn't as interested in being loud like most modern thrillers.
One thing that bugged the f&$k out of me was the dubbing. To get a PG-13 rating, they went back and overdubbed the curse words with more "family-friendly" language, and I noticed it every time. All of which is really stupid considering I don't think this is a film the "kids" are going to want to see.
