Cleverly made propaganda, but fails as a movie

Rating: Null/10 (3 August 2016)

this is what a modern propaganda film looks like. from the opening shots of "reel bad arabs" getting tortured onwards, discerning moviewatchers know what they're in for. promotion of transhumanism, royalty and aristocracy, glamour shots of weapons caches, pretending that intelligence agencies are necessary to keep the 'peace' - it's all there. in fact the movie packs so many agendas into a non-stop barrage that you barely have time to register them all.
from a propaganda standpoint, this is really well made. but as an entertaining movie it fails.
one predictable plot development follows another as if the movie was assembled from pre-fab elements off the shelf. when i thought the movie should be about to end, i checked the remaining time and was amazed to find out that there was over an hour left! yawn!
i'm sure the adolescent boys who are the target audience loved this film and are lining up to join this or that murdering intelligence outfit, expecting to skydive and f**k Scandinavian princesses up the a**.
for the rest of us - if you want to see a good stylish action orgy, watch "John Wick" and forget about this insidious piece of propaganda.
