A review by Gimly
Written by Gimly on 2017-12-09
Mismarketed as a spy thriller, _The Exception_ is nothing more than a romance movie, a romance that has certain obstacles to be sure, but most any romance put to screen does. _The Exception_ is well acted, (which may come as a surprise to some people when it comes to Jai Courtney) but oddly made. There are certain presentation choices that seemed very bizarre to me, but not dealbreakingly so.

_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
