CriticsCritics: 98

An advertising executive is mistaken for a government agent, forcing him into a dangerous cross-country flight from ruthless spies and the authorities. As he tries to clear his name, an enigmatic woman becomes part of his increasingly perilous search for the truth.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy stylish, witty thrillers that mix romance, humor, and suspense, especially Rear Window or Vertigo; Not for you if you need strict realism or deeply developed romance.
