This movie was an extreme disappointment!

The story line is good, and it could have been a very cool movie. However, the directing goes wrong from the very beginning with the going back in time to show how we got here trick, and the voice over, narration. From there it just got worst. The acting/characters are bad, the story gets lost in it self, and the twists don't add anything to the movie.

I can't see how this is good entertainment. They could have done to the spy genre what Shaun of the Dead did to the zombie genre.
