at first i was gonna give this 4 stars but then i thought about it and this is such a refreshing film.
its a spy thriller without a spy but a regular man who may not be a spy but grows into a capable person who navigates threw these situations.
its also just a fun film like any good spy thriller.
North by Northwest
It's a deadly game of "tag" and Cary Grant is "it"!
