Good start, but then it gets ruined
An absolute waste of money
Blistering performances.
.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Worth a watch. However, experting viewers to believe a London bus could out accelerate a Range Rover was a too far fetched.
I wasted 1:34 mins of my precious life for this, everything was crap. I should have gone to sleep with my wife when she told me to!!! For the love of God do not watch.
I think reviewers are being a little harsh about this film. It's an action thriller featuring the SBS, MI6 etc. Mainly British cast with a couple of token Americans. Gemma Chan is superb, with a different actress her role wouldn't be memorable but she really helps things along. Derek Jacobi, unsurprisingly good. Unlike many reviews, I think Dominic Cooper did a good job, especially given the lack of time he had to prepare for this. Connie Nielsen however was an odd choice, her posh British accent varied in intensity and felt awkward. You can't compare this to a big budget Bond/Bourne/Mission Impossible, but I found it entertaining.
A stellar cast, brilliant storyline and some of the most spectacular action scenes I've seen in years - this is the film of the year to see. A lot of reviewers have criticized various aspects of the film, but I could not be more impressed with the full package. Characters surrounded by smoke and mirrors mean you never know who to trust, but Dominic Cooper works as a perfect tandem with whomever is on screen alongside him. I think my only gripe would be someone larger than life against him, maybe Arnold Schwarzennnnnn
