Good cast but VERY messy story. Not recommended.

Rating: 7/10 (8 November 2008)

The cast, the action, the stunts and the scenery are all great...but the story simply does not make sense. From the very start I was trying to work out how each scene went into the other and was puzzled each time. The action is so thick and fast you almost want it to stop so you can get a grip of the reasons why he is doing what he is.
The main woman is stunning but the one he gets in bed is so cliché and unexplainable...well yet again it just doesn't make sense. The evil villain unimportant and hardly really impacts in the story at all. His climatic end is very underwhelming but to be honest you don't really care enough.
The baddies, the CIA, the MI6, the Bolivians, the police...OMG...too much. Just give me a damn story I can follow. Overall the story is flawed and made o so much harder by a clumsy, messy, illogical direction/edit.
I cant recommend it coz it is just not James Bond as we know it. It's OK to break away from the old formula but it has to work, or it becomes a lemon like this one. Pity.
Wait for the DVD.
