Former FBI agent Jane works for Hiller Brood, an
elite private intelligence firm doing work for A-list corporate clientele. Highly trained operative infiltrators
are sent into anarchist faction groups. The groups are staging clandestine
attacks on major corporations.
Usually the attacks are for environmental pollution or against the manufacturers of
drugs with questionable benefits verses extreme health risks. The group called The East turns drugs
with harmful side effects against the CEO’s of the manufacturing company. Jane,
posing as Sarah Moss, is able to establish herself with the group but over time
she finds herself siding with the beliefs of the group. She continues to work quietly and
protects her cover but she has an intense crisis of conscience. She also begins to have feelings for
the charismatic leader of the group.
I found this film enjoyable and entertaining plus
suspenseful. When Sarah cuts her
arm in order to get further into the group, I wanted to SCREAM!! OK, I'm not cutting my arm like that to advance my objective!! There are many times you wonder if she
will be outed. 3 ½* (I liked this
