Farrell went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to experience campus life, worked hard to learn the accent, and changed his Irish accent.

The low-level double-spy and counter-espionage warfare is a training course at first glance. This film can't be said to be "okay", I want to play two stars... Fortunately, the two protagonists are still watchable, and I prefer the CIA to train spies. Colin Farrell's splayed eyebrows are not as embarrassing as in "In Bruges". He was quite handsome at this time. No wonder he is like Pete and has a temperament like an elephant.

Dislike Al Pacino as always. Fortunately, he is a supporting role. The protagonist is not bad, if he looks more handsome. I don't know if I don't know, I suddenly found out that I had watched several films of this kid, but I didn't know it at all, and I just saw it. Consequences of not being handsome enough. The plot is still ups and downs, and the ending is also satisfactory, GOOD.

James Clayton: An interview.
Cab Driver: You look nervous.
James Clayton: Yeah, a bit.
Cab Driver: [turning around in his seat] Just grab your balls.
James Clayton: [surprised] Grab my balls?
Cab Driver: Yeah, just grab your balls, squeeze them hard. Takes your mind right off the fear.
James Clayton: [smiling] Yeah, sure.
Cab Driver: Well, it works for me.
