Well, I wasn't expecting a rehash of every recent spy/thriller movie over the last three to five years, but that's what we got. An almost all-female driven movie with men either as the big-bad or silly sideline support. Not that there's something inherently wrong with that, but the way it is ALWAYS implemented now is an issue - men = bad/stupid, women = boss. At least this film didn't go in for the typical woman versus man fight choreography where they use the exact same fight moves in 98% of films now.
As for the highly derivative story that lacked one shred of originality, being a rehash of several movies from the last three-to-five years, well, the less said about it the better. I will sum it up as good cast, poor story/script.
I should state that it took me three tries to watch this. I first turned it off during the opening montage because they were trying oh so hard to pay "homage" to 007. Then I had to turn it off again during a scene where the main protagonist makes a very stupid decision - this was also the cause of the third pause.
About the only thing in this movie that did make me smile, was the brake light on the back of the motorcycle in the latter part of the film leading up to the climax. Somewhat of a throwback to Gal's WW it seemed.
