In ascolto (2006)
6/10
From OK to worse
29 August 2006
Warning: Spoilers
OK, so I'm a bit of a fan of spy movies. And this one started out pretty good by detailing the NSA and its day to day operations. The phone listening devices are pretty accurate but NO WAY THAT: 01 A civvy gets to roam around the NSA and give orders within the sanctuary. 02 A lowly listening operator gets to do more or less the same. 03 A lowly operator gets to the witness in Italy _before_ the NSA. 04 A super counterspy forgets to prevent counter attacks by his primary target (Tumbleweed). 05 A radio signal _explodes_ all listening equipment. 06 An NSA / CIA targeted counter-spy-group waits patiently for 'the-man-with-guns' to arrive on the mountain to kill them. 07 'The man' arrives slowly on-foot through the snow, in stead of by helicopter. 08 A fleeing wounded group stays ahead of well-funded government assassins that long (consider imaging satellites).

Contrary to the above, I did enjoy this movie a bit, but I am waiting for a more intelligent version of it.
