I'll keep this review short, because I don' t think this bland homogenized mess of a movie deserves more.
The casting is just plain bad : Not one of the bad guys is convincing for a SECOND and, sorry, but Brosnan simply doesn't convince me in the lead role. His bland, blow-dried good looks put me more in mind of an car salesman than a ruthless assassin.
Pretty much every major stunt and set-piece is utterly, utterly ludicrously over the top. I'd heard great things about the opening boat chase, but it came off as thoroughly unbelievable and derivative. Things get worse : the ski chase is extremely tedious (how on EARTH can you mess up a Bond ski scene so badly?), and the sequence with the helicopters/rotary saws at the harbour is just plain childish.
I grew up with the Roger Moore movies, and for me he epitomizes what Bond is all about : class, wit and sly cunning. TWINE is nothing more than 'made for TV' style rubbish. *Please* don't waste your time and money on this...
