Set in the early 30's, a naval intelligence officer with expertise (and history) with the Japanese teams with a small time safe-cracker to get information about a new Japanese code system. Not a bad premise. The problem with this was the characterization and genre. The officer with history let that entire history demonstrate itself by showing no emotion at all... in the entire film. Too one-dimensional. And the feel of the movie was some sort of cross between The Sting and Newsies. But I think the feel was supposed to be straight up dramatic, political thriller. Fail.
