I wish we still lived in a world where you could miss a sporting event and be able to watch it later without knowing the outcome.

Harrison Ford is naturally cool, Gary Oldman and Glen Close are too good for this film and it’s always fun to see William H. Macy.
Otherwise it’s a mid action thriller with pretty on the nose US propaganda.
