Ah, Bucharest. That exotic, Eastern European hotbed of romance, intrigue and hefty film-production tax breaks.
Bruce Ingram, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
However you cut it, with all that talent, Charlie Countryman feels like a sad, wasted opportunity.
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
Even though you learn that Charlie is absolute aces at running from bad guys, the character pretty much remains a confusing, empty vessel. As does the movie.
