Verdict: A thriller, which has everything, a
strong thriller should have. Alec Baldwin as the Teacher shines as the over the
edge hit man who is right on the verge of a break down. Based on the novel by
George Dawes Green it is full of elements of any John Grisham novel/film, so if
you have a fan of his then you will enjoy the one. With great performances from the supporting cast of Joseph
Gordon-Levitt, Anne Hache, James Gandolfini the strong movie flows with
relative ease and will be enjoyed by all thriller fans.
