For 27-year-old Ben (Josh Lawson), life couldn’t be better. A well paid job, friends, parties, girls and nothing to tie him down. But when he is invited back to his old school to join several other ex-students including Alex (Rachael Taylor) and Jim (Ed Kavalee) in talking about their personal achievements, something goes wrong. Ben is the only speaker not to be asked a question by the school kids. This triggers a year of soulsearching and looking for answers in all the wrong places.
From his best friend Andy (Christian Clark) whose solution is that they both take another holiday, to his mentor Sam (Lachy Hulme) who loans him a sports car in the belief that there’s nothing like excessive speed to resolve emotional turmoil. Not even Ben’s father (Rob Carlton) or friends Nick (Daniel Henshall) and Em (Felicity Ward) can offer much in the way of meaningful guidance.
Of course, it’s not easy seeking enlightenment in nightclubs, or on the ski fields of New Zealand, and when you start dating a Russian tennis star things can get really complicated. As the poster boy for a generation desperate to tick every box, Ben begins to suspect that the meaning of life may well reside in the things he's already doing - and a girl he used to know.
我不知道为什么这样，爱情不是我想象。有些职业不适合爱情。
悬疑气氛营造的不错 节奏慢 去过卡梅尔小镇的这家餐厅 日落很美
克里斯派恩一周两部间谍电影上线网络，看卡司本以为这部会比《承包商》要好，想不到一个多小时看了个寂寞，一直就在餐桌上逼逼赖赖，靠口述回忆梳理线索，这是演话剧吗？
感觉应该是一个挺感人的故事，但完全没有代入感，音效控制的不错，大特写镜头可以看出男主细腻的毛孔，皮肤比我好多了……
冲着派派蓝眼去看的……结果还是只毛绒绒的仓鼠
悬疑倒是有了，但是不合逻辑，CIA要给俄罗斯点情报，也犯不着把自己的线人交出去，交换个嫌疑犯不是更好么？况且Ilyas怎么知道Henry在维也纳的，他们间谍不都要换身份名字的吗？
这也是一部嘚瑟剧本精巧结构的作品，前面交叉铺垫，后面反转再反转，呼唤下坚持全球化和世界大同，最后用个莎士比亚式的结尾，以爱情封缄。不是适合所有人，但你能看进去的还是能感受得出里面的好来！

除了镜头有时候拖沓，床戏不够热烈（把Newton想象成那啥里的host就观感好多了），一切情节铺成转折都还挺对我胃口。 老派！
这个世界有一部分矛盾就是功利主义和个体之间的冲突，无解，最后往往是小丑竟是自己。叙事力度掌握的不咋滴，床戏有点抢镜，虽然我不反感
#22#33《国土安全》看了直摇头，我只想知道餐厅叫什么名字…想去！窗外的晚霞也太美了
叫“为爱放弃一切”或者“中年人的办公室爱情”不行吗？
这部片还是很精彩的，一个特工为了保护自己同为特工的女友（被恐怖分子做了局，恐怖分子还是自己原来的线人，被美国交换情报出卖），泄漏了消息，导致一场惨烈的劫机伤亡事件，时隔八年，在上方确认之后，以重新调查为由，派男主出任务，但是实际上是以女主为尓，做实男主泄密的行为，最终是个忧伤的结局。影片叙事在餐厅一个狭小的时空场景，用大量的男女主角的特写和对话来完成，是男女主角演技的真实体现，虽然是一部特工题材的电影，但是通篇几乎没有枪战，搏斗，是一部非常特别的类型片。
2022018《以年为单位的恋爱》
结构上还蛮讨巧的，双主角表现得都不错，劳伦斯自从黑客帝国以后几乎没有出彩的发挥，这次的配角也还行。
亮点是叙述方式、节奏和男女主角间的张力。看到派恩我起先是拒绝的，但他在这部片子里很好，女主也很好——"What we had was real. Wasn't it?""I thought so.""Why did you run?""I think I preferred this being an interrogation.""Well, you've convinced me.""Of what?""(whispers) That you're very convincing."…"Are you okay?""(grunts) Be right back."
一个月两部派恩的电影，和contractot比起来这一部要精致的多。谍战包装爱情，双反转设计严密，画面精致故事铺陈也合理。鼓励新导演和编剧。

墨菲，别来无恙。宝刀未老，宝刀你胖了。电影是好看的，被这个爱情故事感动了。
演技实力派电影，剧情也有反转，需要静下心来看。
