The best of the series. If you’re familiar with “Alias” or “Lost”, you’ll spot director J.J. Abram’s fingerprints all over this film (which he co-wrote as well). He’s even brought along half of his previous casts, so if you miss Felicity (Kari Russell), you’re in luck. Philip Seymour Hoffman is perfectly understated as a ruthless arms dealer, and his performance typifies the film; nothing’s so completely over-the-top as to be absurd. At least, in a world where people swing from skyscrapers like pendulums… B+.
