This movie tries to be a Bourne Identity. Similar character creation, more or less similar plot - half a world wanting to kill Gosling, as was the case with Matt Damon. Some good action scenes, some fighting, lots of destruction around the city a la Taken by Liam Neeson and so it goes. But here we have the movie's big problem: a disgusting type played by the already naturally boring Chris Evans, who has to be the most poorly constructed, over-the-top, and dumbest villain in years. Every scene of him on screen is a martyrdom.
Except for Ryan Gosling's restrained and correct interpretation and his ever-present friendliness and charisma, which keeps some interest in the film, the rest is cliché of a lot of movies we've seen.
