3/5. Thriller with a skiffyish element. Antisocial gun-for-hire and preternatural math genius gets tangled up in the fight against a shadowy organization of telepaths who can make anyone believe anything.
This had some fun elements – our antisocial heroine sort of accidentally building a community and being like what do? about it, for one. But eh, it's a thriller at heart, which means I really can't in general manage to care. My problem with thrillers is that, to my sensibility, they all seem to be screaming please please please give me a movie deal, just because of the kind of stories they are. And that sort of desperation – real or not – is annoying.
