The Operative plot
"Every secret has a price."
Rachel is a polyglot who feels comfortable everywhere. She is recruited by Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, and is assigned Thomas as a contact. Rachel is sent to Tehran on an undercover assignment. She falls for Farhad, the businessman she is supposed to spy on. When Rachel enters increasingly dangerous territory and can only focus on her mission, she decides to quit her job. This leaves Thomas no choice but to track her down before she can pose a threat to Israel.

Good acting by Kruger, unfortunately the story is a bit disappointing and the ending is a bit of a downer. A standard spy thriller with only a few nice scenes.

It still amazes me sometimes - Diane Kruger who plays a strong role, while that has really happened before. In fact, more often than not lately. Perhaps her looks are against her, and of course there are also a few examples where she really doesn't get any further than a bit of blond hair and some blue eyes.
But then this film again. Super exciting with a kind of John le Carre-like story - oppressive and without frills or exaggerated spy romance, and also no super spectacular action scenes. But with that I think a lot more realistic than average, wild chases and shootouts in daylight are not part of the inconspicuous spy work - it is much more a matter of boring and long-winded, lonely and fearful. And Kruger knows exactly how to convey that very well. Iron-strong, and a very fine film.

an exciting film, but still an unbelievable story.
I often wonder if the work of secret services, in this case the Mossad, really requires you to assume a completely different identity?
(I do think that the Mossad has sleeper cells worldwide.)
Diane Kruger is convincing, good actress.
