“Chief Of Station” (*1/2 out of four) was an enervated action thriller about a former C.I.A. operative (Aaron Eckhart) who is pulled back into espionage and the underworld when he finds out that his wife’s tragic death was not an accident and he teams back up with a former adversary (Olga Kurylenko) to uncover a sinister conspiracy involving terrorism and the government. Ho-hum story of international espionage and the C.I.A. feels like reheated story elements from the “Bourne” series. Even the usually dynamic Eckhart and Kurylenko seem to be just going through the motions.
