Well finally have made some time to write a review of the film. First thing, this is another film which has been advertised incorrectly. To say it's Bourne meets Inception is a grave mis-service to the film and audience it is trying to find. I was lucky as I had seen some reviews, which helped put the film in the right light.
The story is really a love story and the odds for (and against) true love winning out. Yes, the scifi (religious) elements are interesting and drives the story along but the main thrust is the relationship that develops between the 2 characters. The trailer mainly shows a lot of running, which to be fair does happen throughout the film but this is no Bourne. This is man running to fight off his so called destiny and catch up with the woman he knows deep down is the love if his life.
The love story is what I focused on and the 2 leads really click and feel natural. The scene where they race each other felt real and showed a natural chemistry between them. I can honestly say I enjoyed the film but I had not gone in expecting an action film. If I had I may not have enjoyed it as much.
The scifi element was interesting and the wife made an observation that I didn't agree with, which was the film was "pro-religion". I didn't see it that way. It almost seemed to say that religion can get it wrong but is also able to recognise that fact (please not I'm not deeply religious).
I would give the film 4* out of 5
