Saw this late at night with no context and it was a good thriller, have kinda been expecting it to morph into a female bourne series but best if that does not happen. It perhaps suffers from, like all conspiracy thrillers, by giving too much power to the evil doers as they're just dumb but have power. Didn't drift too far into science fiction comic superness.

This has a wonderful, amazing movie in it, but the DNA part take drags it down, and some of the movie that presents as a travel diary is meh. I live the aesthetic though, some of those shots were stunning, and I loved the vibe generally as a weird fairy tale. Saoirse Ronan is amazing in this though, and Erik Bana sounds like Arnold speaking English in the final confrontation.
