Cole meets Sadie and spends an unforgettable day and night with her. When she seemingly ghosts him afterward, he discovers that she is actually a CIA agent and ends up helping her secure a stolen bioweapon code. If this romantic action comedy sounds contrived, thats's because it is. Four writers are credited for the screenplay, yet it fails to deliver a single original or exciting idea. There are some decent, if CGI-heavy, action set pieces, but the romance is dead - unless you find it romantic when a guy takes semi-nude selfies on the first date while you're asleep and stalks you halfway across the world.
