This movie fell apart in the last 30 minutes


I was enjoying the movie up until the interrogation scene. It was an interesting take on international banking and using debt as power. After the interrogation scene it turned into a mash up of old lame action films. A silly chase scene on the rooftop's in Italy like we've seen many times before. The over simplification of the Italian corporation response, the over complication of the deal between the bank and the arms dealer, etc etc.

It made me feel that either the studio got involved and wanted to make the film more like a traditional action film or maybe the director was lost for ideas and didn't know how to end it.

It's a shame, the movie had a lot going for it up until then. It wasn't perfect, but it was a solid film that went astray.
