Why is it that every single CIA/MI6/Moussad movie is the same? 1. An operative wants out. 2. Their handler tells them it's dangerous. 3. The agent refuses to do their job, so the bosses get mad. 4. The handler ends up helping the agent, giving away his own job/life/freedom so that the protege can escape.
This movie is no different. I don't get the appeal of trained spies suddenly growing a conscience, yet it happens in all of these films. Krueger isn't bad as the operative. Tim from the Office is a bit of a stretch as a spy/handler. The guy playing the Iranian boyfriend was excellent. The rest? We don't even know who they were. Just some spy bosses without names.
