With all the car sequences, criminals with guns, and a protagonist that would do illegal activities but with good intentions, it seems like this is trying to be Europe's version of a "Fast and Furious" type of movie. Sure the "ends justifies the means" reasoning found in the story is morally flawed, but hey look at all those spectacular stunts and car crashes! Once you get pass the first portions that sets up the characters and all that, the rest of the movie are a series of exciting action sequences. It's not setting a high bar or anything like that, but they were perfectly enjoyable enough to watch.
Nicholas Hault and Felicity Jones may be the primary characters you would want to see have a happy ending by the conclusion of the movie, but it's really Ben Kingsley as Geran and Anthony Hopkins as Hagen Kahl that you will want to see more of. They steal the show. Kingsley and Hopkins look like they are enjoying themselves hamming it up for the camera, each showcasing their own colorful ways of making their characters stand out more in entertaining fashion. Kingsley with his pop culture references, to Hopkins doing a stereotypical Bond villain type. Fun stuff.
Many will fault this movie as having an uninspired cliche filled story, and looking too generic to bother seeing. There are also the obvious flaws and unbelievably stupid situations that will make you want to do a face palm in disappointment. Not to mention all the bad guys who constantly try and shoot our hero, but can never seem to hit their target. A lot of suspension of disbelief here. However, look at those cars going really fast and crashing on the autobahn!
