I jumped into this film with
baited breath. Its exciting title had me thinking of James bond-type gadgets
and exotic locations as the agents trail the world to solve their mission. The
reality is anything but. There’s a bit of amusing banter between the spies as
they discover each other’s listening bugs in their rooms but that’s about it. There’s
no background information about the actual agency or how it’s different from a government
branch. I also thought that Cadvill’s performance was very flat, as both he and
Hammer always spoke in a calm, unemotional voice. It was as if Guy Ritchie had
asked him to be an American Roger Moore. There was a lot of emphasis on style
and wearing flashy suits while staying in plush hotel rooms. I totally lost the
plot when Hugh Grant appeared on the screen and had fell asleep by then so I
had no idea what was happening.
