The actors are all good. Well that's it. The story is childlike, the direction dull and the development highly predictable. The goodies, the baddies and the double crosser. All fluffed up with fight scenes, explosions and gunfire. The action is probably the only realistic thing, even if it is plastered all over the place for no good reason. The effects are all good and have grit.
My mind kept referring back to Austin Powers. The baddie is that comical (but not in a funny way). The plot is childlike and felt very amateur. Take the prime star out and this is a B Roll movie that never gets watched.
The London scenes at the end were just bizarre. Empty streets and then suddenly full with crowds and Police. Making no sense whatsoever. This quality of story telling is very poor considering who is in the film.
Overall, a promising film that immediately failed to deliver anything other that a straight to VHS Sunday story. Lacking the story and direction to make it credible. Then the attempt to create a sequel... so ham fisted in its execution. It just finished on a cringe... not a masterpiece! So very disappointing...
