I guess that sums it up. Jeremy Northam plays something you don't see him do: a nerd. In the beginning, his Morgan character is so nerdy it is pathetic and Northam does it so well. Anyways, Morgan gets a Walter Mitty itch and wants to change his life--why not corporate espionage? He enters the service of a multinational computer company with a mission to infiltrate their prime competitor. Let the confusion, twists and turns begin! Lucy Liu (not looking as hot as she usually does) appears as a guardian angel and object of poor Morgan's desire. He is both saved and tormented by his desire for the unobtainable.

The plot is well done but NOT unpredictable. It shows some fresh ideas on espionage and brainwashing--managers, product developers must see!

Ex nihilo, nihil fit . . .
