Alice is an American
banker specializing in trading who is exiled from the United States. She was blacklisted after a crackdown
on speculative trading. Gregory Lioubov is an undercover
Russian intelligence officer stationed in Monaco. Alice and Gregory meet and she doesn’t know that he is
working for the FSB, Russia’s post-KGB secret service. Alice is recruited by Gregory’s
colleague Sandra to pass on information about the business investments of Ivan
Rostrovski. He is a crooked
Russian tycoon with a tough body guard. Sandra promises Alice
that she will be able to return to the States if she works with them. Also, the CIA contacts her and she’s
open to playing a double game.
This is a tough movie
to follow. I wasn’t sure and it
isn’t clear who people are really working for? Dujardin seems too French to have any connection to
Russia? Maybe we just need to relax our
minds, forget about spies and concentrate on the scenery? Alice’s hair is strikingly beautiful in all
her scenes!! 2 ½* (This movie is
so-so)
