Fun travel and adventure

Morgan Sullivan (Jeremy Northam) leads a boring life with a dominating wife. He seeks “fun travel and adventure.” After passing the test, he is recruited as a company spy. Asked about his new persona as Jack Thursby, he is given an open slate. He is having fun, being all he can be, and taking up new habits of drinking, smoking, golf, and possibly a cutie pie, Rita Foster (Lucy Liu). All he must do is collect data from humdrum convention speeches. He imagines himself as an army of one. Then the complexities and deceptions start, and he finds himself a pawn in a multilayered scheme and mystery. Will Rita introduce him to the man who may be his only way out or his demise? This has lots of action. The background sound enhances the film, instead of some films where the disjointed noise overwhelms the dialogue. You may guess the ending, and for sure you will know it the second time around, but it is the journey that keeps your interest.
