Don't waste your time

Rating: 3/10 (25 February 2015)

With a very few surprises (that make this a 3 and not a 2) this is a crass, violent, poorly thought out movie. Sending up the spy genre has been done better elsewhere many times. The acting by Firth is enjoyable, but everybody else much less so. Jackson's lisp helps add some levity, but there is nothing else redeeming to it.
The gadgets are predictable, the side plots underwritten and unbelievable. The plot points revolving around hacking computers just interminable. 30 years ago this would have seemed clever, now not so much.
a movie for kids with nods to Hunger Games team competition that go nowhere. wait for a slow evening and redbox it...
