The Movie begins with Jonathan Mcquarry (Ewan Mcgregor) an audit manager sitting late at night in the conference room with an intent to complete the left out work for the day and when he checks out the time on his wrist watch “10:53” comes a voice when we see Wyatt Bose (Hugh Jackman) a lawyer enters in and strikes a conversation which Jonathan is not being used to but at the same time he is open to experiencing new things.
Few scenes ahead Jonathan and Wyatt get to be good friends and then suddenly Wyatt gets a call on his mobile that he has to fly to
In the group he comes across a woman whom he knows only by her initial ‘S’ (Michelle Williams) and he feels a kind of affection which he did not find amongst other women. After meeting ‘S’ he avoids other callers on the mobile and then he again gets a call from ‘S’ asking him to meet him at China Town where the story gets a dramatic turn and Jonathan finds himself attacked in the hotel room and ‘S’ goes missing. Then the real villain comes up and trades a huge international fund transfer for the safety of ‘S’ and Jonathan who is keen on ‘S’ eventually accepts the offer. As Jonathan tries to be clever the villain acts smarter by double crossing him.
In all movies be it Hollywood, Bollywood or Kollywood the hero has to finish things off and save the good from the evil but in this movie the hero does the fraudulent international fund transfer to a bank in Madrid and then follows it up with a very smart move which has the villain off-guard. Will Jonathan get to see ‘S’ alive or not forms the remaining part of the movie.
The movie partly produced by Hugh Jackman has brilliant cinematography by Dante Spinotti. The story and the screenplay is a great let down.
Certified “A” for content and certain intimate scenes this movie is an average one.
