Oh hi,
This week on filmsack we were BOURNE ready when we were given the ultimate ULTIMATUM to shoot over to the streaming service formerly known as HBO MAX (you know, before it was reprogrammed to kill by suck by an old white guy) and we gonna lay down an “everything is a weapon” style book beating upon this Action/Thriller from 2007 to uncover the truth about what makes Julia Stiles Smiles at the end. Spoiler…everybody dance now.
Anywho, I locked myself in my closet full of retro technology antiquities because … (whisper) you know who is chasing me …. and I have some very damning documents that need to be made public right now! No, I’M not paranoid…YOU AREN’T paranoid enough… Now let’s see how do I get this info out there quickly before I am caught….I got a government issued Motorola Flip Phone (Hello Moto) … no good they can track that… , Hmmm…. I got a Blackberry that I my family unironically calls “my CrackBerry” …. No, I don’t have a problem… YOU.. … buuut … damn no service … and a fax machine from the 80s. Ahh yes…the good old dependable fax machine … as reliable as the CIA agents monitoring this podcast..yep…once them beeps and boops start there is no stopping that data…nope…game over dude from Northern Exposure…you been got sucka. uh oh… MOM GET OFF THE PHONE! I’M TRYING TO FAX!

BRIEF
A former CIA assassin continues his quest to fill in memory gaps. When a `Guardian’ reporter stumbles onto his trail, the man spies his chance to blow the Blackbriar black-ops brigade wide open.
