The actors could have been terrific, except Alicia just didn't fit into her supposed role as easily as James. James wasn't nearly as good a spy as he thought he was and Alicia wasn't a Dr or Professor, just a little actress play-acting. That's how it appeared and played out. The movie had no middle or ending and for me it landed nowhere. I get tired of having to write the end in my own mind all the time. If I wanted to think through my movies, I wouldn't watch them anymore. Come on script-writers, do your job and make me want enjoy your movies.

Thanks for yet another great film, Wim. People who enjoy and appreciate Wim Wenders' reliably unique cinematic expression and ideas will enjoy this one also. No need to say more.

All the wonderful talented actors where mocked by the boringness of a thin story and weird long scenes that had no soul to them. I am so sorry this movie has failed. It has some of my favorite actors in it and it was just bad directing and a sad music score. The attempt to bind the story, characters and scenes together with water was awkwardly done and Far fetched. I am sure the script must have been good to lure these talented actors to participate. But movies like this can partially kill an actors career. I hope this is not the case. I felt it was utterly a waste of time with unrealistic conversations that felt misplaced. The movie only had a few good scenes. I am very disappointed and I didn't expect anything crazy anyways.

There is no way a man like the character McAvoy plays picks up a lonley girl like that on a beach while out jogging. Because hypergamy. It would be possible if the man was someone else, like Dwayne Johnson playing himself in the movie. Power, fame and money, that would work. But a solo, unknown, normal looking dude, stopping to do some pick up lines on a beautiful solo girl on a beach on his jog... please!! Today that would be considered sexual harrasment by the woman for even talking to her.So no, this did not work one bit. Whoever wrote the script and whoever did the casting are morons.
