Watched "The Courier". It's not bad, but I think it would have worked way better as a (limited) TV series. Because as is, I was not really able to emphasize with the characters.
The performance, the camera work, everything was good, the story was interesting, but it did not deliver the full "impact", that it could, because of lack of background for the characters and lack of the feeling of danger. Yes, there were some scenes, that tried to show the danger and the "family man" attribute, but they were too scarce and sometimes a bit forced.
As a TV series it could have taken a slower pacing and show how the stress is being increased on all the parties involved through various methods (I even have some in mind, but do not want to spoil the movie itself). And living with the characters outside the main events would make the ending failure more impactful, I think.
