Tasteless, overlong, unfunny - a complete waste of time and money

Rating: 1/10 (1 March 2015)

The trailers not do this movie justice. The trailers make it look like a funny, farcical send up of James Bond and action movies in general. Unfortunately, it's very poorly conceived and poorly executed. Even the special effects manage to disappoint. Suffers from a super heavy touch and a complete lack of irony. The few chuckles provided in the script are completely lost in a sea of bloody, hyper violence. It's also at least 40 minutes too long with at least two overlong subplots that added nothing to the story or the film experience. Mean spirited in the extreme. Total crap. If watching mothers try to kill their babies with big knives turns you on, you might like this one. Sad to see stars like Colin Firth and Samuel L Jackson wasted in such a stinker, although I'm sure they're cashing big checks. This is clearly aimed at boys in the 16 to 20 year old age bracket. The big payoff joke involves anal sex. Really classy way close out the story.
