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.
