Little White Lies magazine

This duff addition to the ever-expanding canon of 9/11 movies sees Juliet Binoche shockingly miscast as a French secret agent who is asked to escort a son and daughter to visit their ex-CIA agent father (Nick Nolte) who turns out to be the lynchpin of a huge stock market conspiracy relating to the attacks in New York. Playing out as a fairly standard sub-Ludlum global thriller, the direction and performances never reach a quality where we are able to sympathise with the graveness of the situation at hand. John Turturro does turn up as a poetry-reciting assassin and single-handedly makes the film worth a peek, but as a whole it just feels too little and too late.
