Reaction: While not a record breaker by any means, the numbers are still quite strong considering the Cold War-centric story line and lack of special effects sequences. The cast for this film was quite expensive, but it appears to have been worth the cost.

"Last Resort Films has often been criticized for its lack of strong female lead roles. That obviously isn't the case here, as writer John Malone has clearly gone out of his way to create a film specifically for such a character. It doesn't re-define the spy genre, but it does a good job of playing in that sandbox." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine

"Margot Robbie arguably gets her best leading role to date with this dramatic spy thriller. He gets to kick ass, but also stretch her drama muscles. Despite the strong lead performance and some interesting twists, the story doesn't always feel super original." - Alex Washington, io9

"Writer John Malone has long professed a love of the 007 franchise, and it shows with this globe-trotting spy adventure. The female spy genre has had many recent attempts, but most have fizzled at the box office and with audiences. This film feels like it tried fix what didn't work about those films, with mostly successful results." - Bruce Vickers, Baltimore Sun

Rated R for sequences of strong graphic violence and some nudity
