The actual Operation Chromite was a surprise. In the movie version, you can hear everything coming from miles away.

The New York Times
The wooden dialogue gives Liam Neeson little to do beyond bite on his corncob pipe and berate subordinates who dare question him.

Substantive character development rarely advances much beyond the principal performers and frequent digressions into political proselytizing don't do much to enhance the action.
