Noyce is at it again, and what a pleasant ride is.

Rating: 7/10 (14 April 2011)

What a thrill this film turned out to be! Like the three or four other Noyce films I've seen there isn't much grounding in plausibility. But then if it was we'd be watching a biography, not a to-the-wall action flick. So forgive the forced plot (like CIA HQ security only working when it serves a plot function) and get ready for an adventure that never slows down enough for you to care. The set pieces are very well done. I especially thought a certain scene with a taser was fantastic and funny, but that poor cops heart! This is a round about way of saying; you know Phillip Noyce, you know the genre, Jolie suits short hair, just enjoy it. I'm pretty certain you will.
