CriticsCritics: 95
AudienceAudience: 7.7

An ordinary man is drawn into an international spy conspiracy after a mysterious woman is murdered in his home. Accused of the crime, he flees across Scotland while trying to clear his name, evade the authorities, and uncover the truth behind the dangerous organization.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like fast, witty thrillers blending suspense, romance, and comedy, especially films such as Young and Innocent; Not for you if implausible plots or older movie styles frustrate you.
