What did you watch?

 
The other thing I watched was a movie called THE EXPATRIATE about a
guy who was hired for a temporary job breaking security devices for a
company, but it turns out it was all a fake as all of the employees
are killed once they break enough devices. The setup was to enable
someone to break into a CIA black vault and steal some documents.
Documents that it turns out prove a company was shipping military
weapons to rebels in Africa when the ship carrying the weapons went
down. It was just watchable and not a movie I would seek out.

There's no movie with that actual title, though apparently this is an
"alt title" for the 2012 film "Erased" with Aaron Exkhart – Is that this
movie you're talking about?

Yep, that's the one. Because he is an expatriate dealing with others
my brain just substituted the name.

If it is, I stumbled across it... let's say about 5 years ago, and it
ended up being more engrossing than I was expecting (though I believe I
didn't watch the whole movie, having missed the beginning).

And it co-stars Olga K!!

Yes, it does and she is lovely. Though clearly evil! ;)
