This film I found surprisingly dark in tone - and all the better for it. The opening sequence sets up the John Le Carre type approach to the story, and then we get the usual flashbacks, different locations, etc. that a spy story should have. The acting was fine, the bath-house scene just about appropriate, and it's one that I have kept to see again.

Robert Gant is great in this part, nice to see Gay character in a movie, without being a stereo type.

Just before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Jacob and Marta are trying to get safe passage for a Russian who wants to defect, but it all goes horribly wrong and the defector dies. Fast forward nearly 20 years and Jacob now lives the life of luxury in Milan with his lover Paolo and daughter Julia. But a call from Marta sends him to the train station only to discover that she has a tail and no memory of him or her life. As they try to solve the mystery, the bad guys are at every turn. Will they be able to uncover the mystery before they are silenced too?
This movie is totally low budget and it shows. Supposedly set in Germany, Italy and Switzerland, all the vibrant cities look like the same anonymous grey Canadian city as a stand in. Robert Gant, usually such a great presence on film comes across as wooden and unemotional - particularly in a key scene which begs for emotion. The dialogue is bland and cheesy, the plot completely predictable, any semblance of action (this is an action film, isn't it?) is missing, and my biggest gripe - they haven't seen each other since the fall of the Berlin Wall, and neither has aged one iota (at least Doherty's cheesy wig was left behind). And worst of all, the door is left open for another installment. No thanks, I'll stick with Oliver's much better Strachey mysteries.

I wanted to like this movie. First, I have enjoyed Robert Gant and Shannen Doherty in other roles and the premise sounded cool - two ex-spys, one has amnesia and people are trying to kill them. Throw in the fact the lead is a gay Jason Bourne and it sounded like a winner.
It's not.
While I liked Shannen Doherty's performance, she was the only thing in the movie I liked. Jacob (Robert Gant), while lovely to look at, his character fell flat. I was so hoping the director, Ron Oliver would find the type of chemistry between Gant and his partner that he found in The Donald Strachey Mysteries with Donald and Timmy -- but he did not! Jacob's partner was just a twink who was disposable to the plot and could barely speak English. I was very disappointed by that aspect, add a daughter he fathered by a lesbian friend, and the plot became a bad Lifetime movie.
To conclude: a predictable plot, bad acting and no chemistry between the leading men and considering this was promoted as a "gay-themed" movie, that means it utterly missed the mark.
Rent, don't buy.
