Surprisingly good - judge for yourself

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2008)

OK, so I have to admit, after the reviews it was with a certain amount of trepidation that I entered my local monopolised flea-pit. However, it just goes to show that sometimes these film reviewers a) haven't seen the film at all or b) maybe aren't as clever as they suppose themselves to be. The plot hangs together surprisingly well, and there is enough in the way of action scenes (particularly with the car chases) to keep you engaged. I also enjoyed how Voigt and Mirren played off each other as the couple who have wasted decades hating each other. As good as the first one? No - BETTER! If you want to hear Nic Cage singing 'I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts' in a mock cockney accent, then this is the film for you. Enjoy!
