You know, Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Dirty Harry, etc... the wise-cracking, bigger-personality than life heroes breath life into those tongue-in-cheek films. What carries the genre is brilliant editing, innovative ways to blow things up and kill people.
Same with the Bond franchise.
Not MV.
Colin and Jamie are poorly cast, both individually and together: zero charisma, pizzazz, or chemistry.
Not one memorable stunt, no well-done shoot-outs.
No terrible, evil villain(s).
Poorly written, acted, filmed.
The producers should have shot the director and not this film.

I thought there was a good taut 80 - 90 minute film trapped in the 2+ hours of bloat. - sjb 09:46:23 08/02/06 (0)
