Why on earth the big shoot-out had to be a Peggy Goog's is beyond me. They built a mega chintzy mock up and shot it to pieces in the name of action. This movie had a weird about it and then at the end I saw Tykver directed it. No wonder, it lacked the coherent action Brits can put together so well.
Clive and Naomi did their best to attack the International Bank of Business and Commerce but failed in the end. Debt is thicker than blood.
The object lesson is that banks control debt not money and call in all the favors to control the world. How current.
This thing was over two hours long and I will give it 2.5 out of 5.0. It has interesting Euro scenery and Turkish roof tops with top flight thespians from across the pond. Get a medium bag.

my one sentence review.
Good acting by Clive Owen as a scruffier Bond-like character..could have used a better script.
..."Character is easier kept than recovered."
Tykwer's Guggenheim scene, like the French Connection's car chase, has to be the film's highpoint (although the flashpoint is earlier) - the rest seems sensible in tone and doesn't accelerate into "thrillride" territory, which I felt grateful for.
I could see this script as having had potential for Bond as it is about world domination/control, but Tykwer does it with subtlety.
