Interpol Agent Louis Salinger (a very scruffy and sexy looking Clive Owen) and Manhattan ADA Eleanor Whitman (Naomi Watts) are busting their asses to bring to justice one of the world's most powerful banks.
They have uncovered illegal activities including money laundering, arms trading, the destabilisation of governments and murder. Salinger and Whitman's investigation takes them from Berlin to Milan to New York and to Istanbul. They get involved in the most amazing chases and gund fights including a truly amazing one in the Guggenheim Museum in NY (this is worth the entrance fee alone).
The bank stops at nothing and in the end, neither does Clive. There are all kinds of parallels with the bank crisis at the moment. A bit far fetched, but hey who knows what goes on behind closed doors. It does drag a little bit and the ending is ok, but not as good as rest of film, but all in all a fast paced, pretty entertaining film with some good quotes.
