This was much easier to follow than the first three films that came before (the fourth was fine!). The plot makes sense. It also seemed to flow a lot better with great stunts rather than hanging around waiting for something to happen. But there’s a kind of sadist torture to the protagonist; surely it would be better to kill the opposition in the first place but there’s also a desperation to learn all the secrets. There’s several well-scouted locations which must have required a lot of international cooperation, and the stunts are at least semi-human and can’t be achieved without some assistance or injury. There’s always a risk to be taken as no-one is prepared to let anyone else die. Memorising a whole set of files sounds a bit unconvincing but I suppose you can’t take a risk when you’re a terrorist and want to get your hands on as much cash as possible. But the final chase is just a classic.
