Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe rendezvous location where Henry and Celia have dinner is supposedly the wine-only "Vin de Vie" restaurant in Carmel when, in actuality, the glass-walled restaurant with ocean views was built on a soundstage in London using an LED backdrop. It looks remarkably like Canlis in Seattle
- GoofsNear the beginning of the film, Chris Pine's character drives to Carmel-by-the-Sea. But he's shown driving south on the Pacific Coast Highway over Bixby Creek Bridge, which would take him in the opposite direction.

Featured review
Henry and Celia were lovers.
The story centers on (fictional) Flight 127 in 2012 that was taken over in Austria by terrorists, their demands weren't met, everyone died, including the terrorists. Now 8 years later, in 2020, the American "agency" again sets out to examine how things unfolded back then with the new, unverified information that a captured terrorist said there was an inside informant that gave them some key information. Henry is assigned the task to interview key personnel to try to verify or refute that information. One of those is his ex-lover Celia.
The movie uses an editing approach that is frustrating at times, as they switch frequently between present time and eight years earlier. Then as things start to jell near the end, a key scene is replayed showing information that was withheld from the audience the first time around. Then everything we saw is tied together only during the last few minutes of the movie.
It certainly is manipulative, to keep viewers guessing until the very end. Ultimately the doomed flight 127 is just an event that allows the story to explore the real relationship between Henry and Celia and what some people will do for love.
My wife and I watched it at home on Amazon Prime streaming movies. Not a great movie but we were entertained. Pine and Newton are good.
