Rachel McAdams, Forest Whitaker and, specially, Jake Gyllenhaal show us how good of an actors they are. Also, we discover the great performance by Oona Laurence but that's the(one and only) big strength of the movie; its cast.

The story is the one told a thousand times without many new details that would make it any different. The directing is correct but the story is just too well known.
