In short:
Some reviewer wrote it was a 6.5 and that is about right. Cast makes a good enough performance, Barry Pepper and Colm Feore carry the movie most of the time. If you want a more accurate portrayal of agents this is a decent movie to watch, the plotline stand one foot apart fromt he clichés, at times it works well at other times it's too close.
In longer The gunfights are somewhat ok, though the distance shots and some of the work with angles are not good. Seems like they one minute has someone coreographing them well while at a few points they simply wing it. Though the drone use looked like proper modern city warfare and was a nice addition. This movie does have that, some really nice additions, like the home versus how he manages tracking & interplays with the phone. Or how file movements are managed.
The "ending scene" is also one to keep an eye out near the sea, its well coreographed and should be watched if you are into movies for that alone.
Pro's Mostly accurate behaviour of an active field agent (imo) Uses a clichéridden plotline that still doesn't bore you to death Some nice camera shots and one really nice
Con's Light gun, some gore spray effects could have made sense to make the intense firefight more intense (i don't mean extreme) Some scenes in the firefights regarding angles Sound/music could have been done better to push the states of the movie and build momentum
End notes: One agent in the cast doesn't fit the role (though I have to admit I've missed a characteract like that since the Boondock Saints where he delivered well) though I have to ask myself how is he not getting more voice acting work???
