The acting and the restrained tone are good and lend a sort of credibility to what is otherwise a poorly written and deeply derivative spy story---one can think of it as a poor man's "Homeland." The opening credits seem almost a direct copy of those of "Homeland." Note to writers: if you are going to move your characters over long geographic distances, then you should show them travelling or otherwise set up the travel better. It is jarring to see somebody in Beirut one minute, and then in the south of France what seems to be a minute later.
