Save Your Money

Rating: 2/10 (16 February 2006)

I saw this last night and am strongly thinking about writing to Mr Spielberg and asking for my money back, or an apology at the very least.
Obviously the subject matter is a delicate one, and I think neutrality was the right way to go - it left me with a distinct "a plague on both their houses" feeling, but that is not my gripe.
Almost every scene in this film was a cliché. We're in Paris? Ah, then the Eiffel Tower must be in every scene? Amsterdam? Let's have some canals and bicycles. London? Well, it should be raining, obviously... Daniel Craig as a Jewish South African, but a strange British twang? Nobody comes out of this well - especially Spielberg.
