The plot

I can't believe how many people are confused by things that are explained in this movie. People were either watching an abridged version, or were cutting their toenails and talking with friends while the movie was on. Collectively you've pissed me off enough that I've been compelled to take the trouble to create an account so I can address some questions.

For example, one guy is confused that there are 2 very similar girls. No, there's one girl. It seems clear to me that whenever David is unconscious he dreams/remembers his girlfriend Claire. At the very end he's fading in and out and the memories become interspersed with the present.

Another guy starts a thread that Enver Gjokaj wasn't credited -- he was credited in the movie I watched. Immediately after Zachary Knighton he was given a full-screen solo credit, only his name on screen, large, all capital white letters on a black background. (1:48:15)

Another poster asks why she left the address at home. What?! She didn't leave an address at home, David made that up when pressed for a plausible explanation of looking for her at the salvage yard.

Another guys asks how David got a gun on the plane. What plane are you talking about? David never flew anywhere that we see (maybe on the way home, it's not shown). To help you, he's clearly buying tickets and moving through a train station. Do they make airport lobbys out of marble and windowless passageways out of solid concrete where you're posting from? Train stations are made that way because they hearken back to a time of class and concrete can bear the weight of heavy trains.

Spoilers:
A guy takes issue with David's use of a hammer. David is a graphic artist, not a spy assassin. He's unfamiliar with firearms and, like many urban Americans, frightened by them. One of the points of the movie is the contrast between average guy David and Sarah, who turns out to be a spy assassin. What would happen if Nikita adopted a cover beard, then fell for him, then went rogue? How would that story look from the abandoned beard's point of view?

This is also why he 1) trusts Kyle, 2) blunders into the salvage den (see, he's a guy looking for information about his missing girlfriend, not Jason Bourne), etc. Sure, at some point David goes beyond what average guy David would do, but it's a movie, you see, and if he didn't continue to push and take risks, then the movie would be about 45 minutes long and we'd all wonder why we watched a movie about a pussy that just gave up.

Like most intelligence field agents, Claire had more than one mission. Her mission 5 years ago, before she met David, was to gain intelligence on the white supremacist banker and kill him, making it look like a heart attack. Her mission 1 year ago was self-assigned, and it was to obtain proof that Hall had flipped to work for the Russians (it's not clear if they're Bratva or GRU, probably the former, but it doesn't matter). Buck/Kyle worked for Hall, for the government, as did Sarah (Claire's actual name, given away in 2 scenes), that's how she knew him. Kyle/Buck was a bad guy (or possibly a good guy with incomplete information from his boss). The photos proved that Hall had, while in recovery from his injuries, met with the Russians on friendly terms. She explains in the final scene that those photos were her insurance policy.

You know all those shows and movies you see where the male secret agent cozies up to a girl so he can further his mission, here you're seeing the movie from the other perspective, from that of the cover. In fact, the cynic needs to wonder if she really cares about David at all, but she seems to. Revealing her true name while things are good. Telling him that she truly loves him before she leaves. And in the end, she may run first to recover her insurance, but the next thought is that they can leave together. On the other hand, she could have taken David with her the first time if she'd really wanted...

It was a good movie that I'm recommending to my friends who aren't ADD.
