It's hard to be complimentary about this film. Minus points are the excessive-to-pointless action, continual slow-motion wire somersaults and slow-motion bullet spraying.
Between that, there's plenty of set pieces like the tower and rock climbing but nothing much. The story is a clearly defined and implausible drag.
Anthony Hopkins turns up to play...Anthony Hopkins. Dougray Scott is as fine as an actor gets when knowingly taking on a load of old cobblers to try and forge a Hollywood career.
The one saving grace is a fine performance from Thandie Newton.
