I agree! The way the film is (and still is) described is that Catch is supposed to be almost sinister, and it shows her cop partner saying "He doesn't show up in any system". There is no criminal suspicion of Catch in this film at all.
I went into this film expecting this to be the case, and kept wondering when that part was going to start!
Why couldn't it have been advertised as a romantic drama, which is what it was? It would have done better in the box office too, I would suppose.
"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

True that!
I kept waiting for something interesting to happen and it never did.
