"When the CIA's most skilled operative, whose true identity is known to none, accidentally uncovers dark agency secrets, a psychopathic former colleague puts a bounty on his head, setting off a global manhunt by international assassins."

This movie it much better than the description would suggest. It looks like a huge budget blockbuster but it's on Netflix. If they keep this up they'll bury other streaming services.

They have far too many locations which are little more than names on the screen. It becomes tedious.

It gets a little slow midway through but then picks up again for the second hour.

The chick with the bob hair is driving an AUDI and when she brakes for the tram she clearly has her feet on the clutch and brake pedals. Then later she shifts an automatic gearshift.

That sort of thing is just really sloppy for something of this budget. I didn't even bother rewinding to check because I was sure of what I'd seen. I thought oh yeah Europe could be a manual for sure which I found interesting. Then she shifts the auto shifter so no clutch in that car. It's one little thing I noticed that bugged me slightly.

It makes me laugh that the thing about James Bond in 1962 was that he has a license to kill. That quaint notion is just so far gone nowadays where everyone just kills everyone all the time for two hours of the film.

So on that note 100 gunmen can't kill one guy handcuffed to a railing in the middle of an intersection. It's crazy right?!

An ultimately enjoyable film, even if these sorts of things aren't your bag, which they're not really mine.
